There we have a celtic fan on moaning on the tranny about the pathway to the first team for our youths
we have used more then usual ffs don't think this guy wid be happy always being second just to blood youngsters things are looking up some people are just many bastards for the sake of it
Can totally understand that cairnsybhoy when looking at the bigger picture, and long been calling for the situation to be addressed within Scottish football.
The 1st team squad currently I would class as one if not possibly one of the strongest squads formed this century imo.
However, I still look at young Dan Murray, deemed good enough to play in a CL qualifying game, yet wouldn't be nowhere near the 1st team match day squad.
Even MJ hasn't been able to get up to match standards, from long injury lay offs, as nothing is in place for his rehabilitation from injury, same might apply to Jules and Dembele yet.
Young Monty will struggle for game time also now, like Murray with the depth and quality of the squad being formed.
It's OK saying there time will come, but will it with the demands and expectations so high?
The simple solution is by having a 2nd team in the lower divisions that are allowed to progress to 1st division level but can't go higher with the main team dominating the SPFL still for years to come still.
We are the only club that could afford to do so and operate in such a way, but because we are Celtic it just gets dismissed, would it if hun scum wanted to do the same?
Hope it can be addressed as I never want us to lose the tradition of bringing young players through to become celtic greats, yet at present we still might not be to far away from not having a Scottish or Irish player in our starting line up, and that would be a sad day if that should ever happen in years to come still.
