Celtic striker Johnny Kenny is embracing the pressure of a promotion push after his January loan move to Bolton Wanderers. The 22-year-old Irish forward, seeking regular first-team football, has quickly become a key figure for the Trotters as they battle for a Championship place.

Bolton currently sit fourth in a fiercely competitive League One, firmly in the hunt for an automatic promotion spot or a playoff berth. Kenny's impact has been immediate, with his recent brace showcasing the sharpness and confidence that Bolton fans are hoping will fuel their final ascent. His second goal against Stockport County was a particularly classy finish, highlighting the composure he's found in a starting role.

Reflecting on his development, Kenny emphasized his relentless drive to improve. "All the time, I am just thinking about improving," he told The Bolton News. "I want to give this club everything I have." He also drew a direct line between his current challenge and the expectations at Celtic Park, stating, "Playing for Celtic you have to relish those big days. They are all big days up there. It’s win or bust."

That mentality is now being channeled into Bolton's crucial run-in. "The last few games for Bolton are all against sides that are around that top seven or eight," Kenny noted. "Now’s the time to step up." His loan spell is proving to be the perfect platform to hone his skills under pressure, a experience that could prove invaluable for his future at Celtic, where seizing big moments is non-negotiable.
