6-Year-Old Applies For Celtic Job, Chief Executive Writes Back

He might be just six-years-old but that did not stop Aiden Headridge from having ambitions of replacing Neil Lennon as Celtic boss.

A huge fan of the club, he wrote a letter to Chief Executive Peter Lawwell applying for what was at the time, a vacant role. Alas, the club chose a man just thirty-two years his elder in Norwegian Ronny Deila.

Lawwell was so impressed with young Aiden that he wrote back and included a gift. Aiden's brother tweeted a picture of the letter and a shirt.

Dear Aiden,

Thank you for your letter and for taking the time to write me. I was very pleased to receive your letter.

As you will know, we have appointed Ronny Deila as the new football manager. I believe Ronny has the knowledge, enthusiasm and confidence that is necessary to take the club forward and deliver continued success. I am very exited about this new phase in the Club's history and I hope that you and your family are too.

I am really pleased to learn that you would like to be the Celtic manager and maybe one day that will happen. In the meantime, I hope you are enjoying school and are looking forward to the summer holidays.

Thanks again for taking the time to write Aiden. I've enclosed a small gift which I hope you will like.

Very best wishes,

Peter Lawwell
Chief Executive

I wonder if Roy Keane got a nice letter and free shirt for his brief courtship with the club.
