Striker Simon Lynch was a highly rated youth prospect who came through the Parkhead ranks.
An impressive performer at youth team and Under-21 level the Canadian born performer saw his first team chances at Parkhead limited due to injury but primarily because he faced the most formidable competition for a place from from Henrik Larsson, Chris Sutton and John Hartson.
Consequently Lynch made just three starts for Celtic before signing for Preston in January 2003 in a £130,000 deal. The Scotland Under-21 international struggled at the Lancashire club and would return north of the border when he joined Dundee in July 2005.
His time at Preston was hardly the first team and goal-scoring run he had hoped for commonly finding himself on the bench when Preston were going through the doldrums. In December 2003 he went out on loan to Stockport County and then on loan again to Blackpool. With his contract up at Preston Simon returned to Scotland with Dundee in 2005. He managed 13 goals in 31 league appearances for the Dark Blues, but Dundee's financial problems meant he was unlikely to remain.
On 3 July 2006, it was revealed that Lynch had signed a two-year contract with Queensland Roar. Despite being unable to participate in the Pre-season Cup due to visa problems, Lynch wasted no time in making an impact for his new team and quickly made a name for himself in Australia. He continued to score goals and became something of a crowd favourite.
At the end of the 07/08 season, after recovery from a closed-season operation and a season where he had failed to gain any notable successes he was released by Queensland Roar.
He returned to Scotland and is currently playing for Airdrie Utd
Lynch played 10 times for Scotland under-21s, scoring 6 goals.
