From the source

Manager Martin O'Neill is sure Colby Donovan is destined for "very big future" as the Celtic full-back extended his contract until 2031. The 20-year-old has made 15 starts for the Scottish champions this season, having made his debut in August last year.

He was called up to the Scotland squad for the first time in September although he did not feature in any of the four Nations League matches under new boss Sebastien Pocognoli.

"He has come in when we needed him, given everything for our cause," O'Neill told club media, going on to praise the defender's "tremendous attitude".
