I see that 16 year old Ryan O'Leary (son of Pierce and nephew of David) is in-line for his first start for Aberdeen this weekend.
Does anyone have any reports on him?

Think he's played underage for Sctotland but will soon play for Ireland U17(?)

If he's played for Scotland it will have been through the Scottish Schools set-up. Players at that level in Britain play for the country in which their school is located rather than for their nation (e.g. Ryan Giggs appearing for England Schools), hence O'Leary being involved there. He opted for Ireland at the first opportunity. A bit like a certain Aiden McGeady... ;)

Is he as good as his uncle was or as bad as his father?
