Watch incredible moment 16-year-old keeper tracked by Rangers and Celtic does Cruyff turn on his own GOAL-LINE
KID gloves Callan McKenna produced a startlingly audacious moment of skill in Queen's Park's 1-0 win at Arbroath to underline why some of Britain's biggest clubs are tracking him.
The 16-year-old had the nerve to produce a Cruyff turn virtually on his goal-line at Gayfield from a pass-back despite a chasing Red Lichties striker being just a foot away.
Scotland youth ace McKenna - who made his competitive debut in July and has now played five games for the Spiders - even kept his composure after SLIPPING while coolly turning his back on his opponent before making the space to drill a clearance out of the penalty box.
It was a third straight league appearance for the teenager who has ousted last season's Championship keeper of the season Calum Ferie - and Robin Veldman's top-of-the-table men have won every game to go five points clear at the top.
Celtic, Rangers, Arsenal, Brighton, Southampton and Burnley are all among a growing number of clubs tracking McKenna's progress - with the high-flying Seagulls, top of the Premier League, recently having an early approach knocked back.
SunSport Online understands the club's director of football Marijn Beuker is in negotiations with the youngster and his representative to extend a deal which is due to end next summer.
