       An Irish transfer that caught the eye during the week was that
       of Cate Toland, the teenage centre-back from St Johnston in
       Donegal who has signed for Glasgow Celtic’s under-19 set-up.
       That makes it two Tolands at the club following the arrival of
       Cate’s older sister Tyler in July, the 20-year-old joining from
       Manchester City after spending last season on loan at Celtic’s
       rivals Glasgow City.
       Tyler, of course, became the Republic of Ireland’s youngest ever
       senior international back in 2017 when she made her debut
       against Northern Ireland just a month after her 16th birthday.
       In an unusual enough twist, though, Cate made her international
       debut back in March of this year - but for Northern Ireland.
       It was a friendly for their under-19 team against Sion Swifts,
       the Tyrone club where both sisters played. Cate, so far at
       least, is choosing a different international route following the
       long-rumbling dispute between her sister and Republic of Ireland
       manager Vera Pauw who hasn’t included the midfielder in her
       squad since 2019.
       Considering how Pauw and the FAI have handled the matter, you’d
       be guessing Tyler wished she’d declared for NI too.
