From what we have seen so far, the talent is unbelievable in India, and I’m not saying that just for the sake of saying it,” Mark Reid, Senior Football Development Officer of the Celtic Football Academy, said.<br /><br />“We will select 20 students after the tournament concludes and hold another clinic for a week, after which we will pick two students who will travel to Glasgow to watch Celtic and experience Scottish football for a week,” he added.<br /><br />On Thursday, Reid and fellow Academy coaches Chris Hendry and Robert Glen began a four-day clinic for the six teams, and the trio felt that starting from the grassroots was the way forward for Indian football. “We are making sure that a foundation will be laid with our inputs. Hopefully, the coaches here will then carry that forward to make it a success,” Glen said.<br /><br />“We have worked all over the world and we know that with a country like India, the potential is immense. We hope to play a small part in bringing out that potential,” Hendry added.</p>
