	Aiden McGeady - Glasgow Celtic FC Player Profile from Carling Football
		Youngster Aiden McGeady has been described by Martin O'Neill as a player with "enormous potential", having made his breakthrough into the first team towards the end of the 2003/04 season, aged 18.
		Although born in Glasgow, McGeady has decided to play for the Republic of Ireland, and made his full debut in June 2004, where he came on as a substitute for nine minutes against Jamaica.
		The 2004/05 season proved to be the making of young McGeady as he justified O'Neill's faith in him.

	Aiden McGeady - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aiden McGeady (born April 4, 1986 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a professional football player for Celtic.
		Aiden McGeady was tipped as a future football star since he was selected for the Under 11 Glasgow Catholic Football School select team at the age of seven.
		McGeady was tracked by many top teams in England and Scotland, with both Alex Ferguson and Liam Brady making personal pleas for the youngster to join Manchester United and Arsenal respectively.

	Mart: I can't drop Aiden - Evening Times (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		McGeady's tricks and feints have been the most creative outlay for Celtic this season on the flank and O'Neill has no worries that the youngster needs to be protected against overuse at this stage.
		McGeady emerged from the Parkhead youth ranks at the end of last season with a debut performance that was marked with a goal against Hearts, and though he remained in the first-team squad it was thought the arrival of Brazilian Juninho would push him down the Parkhead pecking order.
		McGeady was unfazed by the might of AC Milan when Celtic held the Italians to a 0-0 draw a fortnight ago, and despite his inexperience, there is an aura of expectation when he collects the ball.

		Yesterday Aiden McGeady, Shunsuke Nakamura, Jiri Jarosik and goalscorer Stilian Petrov pleaded a convincing case that the team can function without their captain.
		McGeady, though, was a constant menace and almost grabbed a spectacular opener in 12 minutes.
		McGeady then sent Maciej Zurawski through with an inch-perfect pass only for keeper Smith to make a good save at the striker's feet.

	Who’s to blame in sorry tale of the one that got away? - [Sunday Herald]
		McGeady, whose 18th birthday was on April 4, has very slim shoulders upon which to bear the weight of a controversy which, far from dying away, will only be inflamed the more he lives up to his billing.
		McGeady, of course, still has time to change his mind, although Ireland are expected to the close the door on a U-turn by naming him in the squad for their next under-21 match, ironically, against Scotland.
		Whether Aiden’s decision would have been the same had he faced an Alex Fer-guson, a Walter Smith or a Gordon Strachan across that desk at Hampden is one of the many intriguing aspects of this unfortunate case.

	Keep-The Faith
		McGeady continued: “We could clinch the title and it's important to me to try to be involved in that one.
		McGeady explained his injury: “My knee is fine and the main thing with a medial ligament injury is just to rest it and give it time to recover.
		Aiden McGeady is not counting his Championship chickens just yet, but he is aware of what must be done and he accepts there's a certain suitability about being able to seize the SPL Championship with a win against Hearts.

		Nicknamed "Aideninho" by the Celtic fans for his dribbling skills, McGeady turned in a man-of-the-match performance against AC Milan during a UEFA Champions League match at Celtic Park at the end of 2004, prompting on-field applause from Alessandro Nesta.
		McGeady made his 50th league appearance for Celtic in the 2005/06 title-winning campaign, although a knee ligament injury kept him on the sidelines for two-and-a-half months.
		McGeady played in the same school team as Celtic team-mate Mark Wilson and signed a lucrative boot deal at the age of 16.

		McGeady is a disgusting wee glory-hunting f*cker who wants to play for Ireland because he thinks he'll get to the World Cup more often.
		Aiden is unique among Ireland's "imports" because the rest of them would never have got a game for their home teams - it was Ireland or nothing, and I'm sure most of them would have picked England over Ireland had they had the chance.

		Defending a corner, the ball would break to Aiden, your keeper (or you) were screaming to punt it clear, but he was better than everyone, he could dribble the ball out of defence.
		As I said in the piece Aiden has all the skills to be a superstar (bar blinding pace), but I am a little concerned that he is the same player who broke into the first team 2 years ago.
		For the writer to point out the where Aiden has gone wrong/missing it appears to me anyway that he has some sort of adgenda against McGeady that is all to evident from sections of the home support.

		McGeady is now determined to play his part in next season's Champions League, firmly believing Gordon Strachan's side have what it takes to match Rangers' achievement of making it into the knockout phase.
