Stephen Welsh's road to Celtic built upon Rangers icon Terry Butcher's apprentice template
Stephen Welsh had the necessary ability on the pitch.But it was the kid’s attitude, desire and application off the park that really convinced team-mate Brian McLean that the youngster could make the big breakthrough. Welsh is now a top-team Parkhead regular and the 21-year-old is set to start Sunday’s Scottish Cup crunch against Rangers with added belief having just signed a new four-year contract to tie him to the club until 2025.It’s a reward for the defender’s play and also his determination to get the very best out of himself every single day.McLean had seen how the best did it.
