Celtic have signed Rudi Vata's son Rocco to his first professional contract.

Vata, 15, was at Parkhead earlier this week completing his deal.

Glasgow Times:

He is already a youth player with Republic of Ireland despite his old man turning out for Albania. 

The youngster signed a three-year pro contract for the first time in his career.

And he will be desperate to emulate his father's Celtic success where he managed 45 appearances for the club, lifting the Scottish Cup and cementing his place as a cult hero.
