Bolton Wanderers striker Sam Dalby has heaped praise on Celtic loanee Johnny Kenny, as a partnership begins to blossom between the two players down south.
Dalby, who spent time on loan at Dundee United last season, was assisted by the Republic of Ireland international during Saturday's 5-1 win over Exeter City.
Post-match, the 26-year-old praised Kenny's efforts, which were rewarded with his first goal for Bolton in the second half of the League One match at St James Park. “Johnny was brilliant all day, just running the channels and making it really difficult for their centre-halves," Dalby told club media.
“Then he put one right across the goal for me, and I couldn’t really miss. We are very different types of players, and he does stuff that maybe I’m not the greatest at, and vice versa.
“So, obviously, it feels like a good partnership and the more we play together, the better we get.”

In other news, the officiating team for Celtic's trip to Pittodrie to face Aberdeen has been confirmed by the SFA.
Last month, Martin O'Neill's side were gearing up to take on Peter Leven's team, though a pitch inspection deemed the home side's pitch as being unplayable just hours before kick-off.
Now, following Celtic's 2-2 draw against Rangers, the visitors to Aberdeen have the opportunity to leapfrog their rivals into second place, as well as cut the gap between themselves and league leaders Hearts.
Ahead of Wednesday night's showdown against Aberdeen, the SFA has announced that Nick Walsh will take charge of proceedings at Pittodrie. He will be assisted by Daniel McFarlane and Colin Drummond on their respective touchlines, while Chris Graham will oversee the use of VAR at Clydesdale House, assisted by Duncan Williams.
