Jon McLaughlin, born on 9 September 1987 (age 38), is a Scottish goalkeeper associated with Burton Albion. His early senior record includes a league appearance for Bradford City in 2008-09, a modest beginning rather than the sort that tends to get dressed up later.
He went on to build a longer career in the Scottish and English game, collecting a Premiership title and a Scottish Cup during spells away from Burton. Those honours give the career a bit of substance, even if McLaughlin has never been a player around whom too much noise was required.
For Celtic purposes, he sits outside the main story: an experienced Scottish goalkeeper, with Bradford City in his early record, Burton Albion on his profile, and domestic honours earned elsewhere.
