"Rodgers is as much borrowing a team as he likes to believe he’s building one". Celtic loan model is full of flaws and is stifling talented academy players - Gordon ParksGordon reckons the Hoops must get back to basics and the current policy is short-sighted. Spoiler: click to toggle ByGordon Parks A stroll down the corridor leading to the St Ninian’s High School gym is to take a glimpse into the array of graduates who have made a name for themselves at Celtic. Framed shirts adorn the walls from the Bhoys made good, some more recognisable than others. Charlie Mulgrew, Kieran Tierney , Anthony Ralston, Jamie McCart, Jack Aitchison and Michael Johnson to name but a few in a sliding scale. A partnership between the Hoops and the Kirkintilloch house of education appears to be delivering its fair share of glittering alumni. Home-grown, nurtured and developed with a balance of both football and studies, it should be an arrangement which falls into the no-brainer department. But sadly, it’s not quite as it seems. Celtic’s success is a distance from the current batch of St Ninian’s pupils working their way through a dream factory which they hope will take them from first year to first team. But here’s the issue. With the most extreme of exceptions, the majority will suffer from a short-sightedness which remains the one downside of Brendan Rodgers’ time at Celtic. It was a concern voiced by Craig ‘Pitbull’ Levein during last week when he dared uttered a truth about the transfer policy exercised by the champions. He said: “They go and get loan players, who are the same age, and don’t play their own kids – that hampers Scotland’s development.” The Hearts boss is correct, there’s an element of fact in the claim Rodgers is as much borrowing a team as he likes to believe he’s building one. Patrick Roberts, Odsonne Edouard and Charly Musonda aren’t marquee signings, they’re just a few examples of players being placed at Celtic by big clubs who use the Parkhead outfit as an exclusive finishing school. Celtic are as fertile a development grounding as you get, clubs can place their assets and discover whether they sink or swim at Champions League level without any risk to their own ambitions. It’s a win-win policy which is a loser for Celtic’s teenage wannabes and does nothing to ease the bottleneck at the business end of the club’s development programme. The problem is laid bare with Belgium Under-21 kid Musonda with Chelsea apparently unhappy one of the 33 rookies they’ve loaned hasn’t been playing enough. Noses are out of joint because their asset isn’t getting utilised and it says everything about how clubs view the likes of Celtic and their place in the football chain as a feeder club. Rodgers is askew in his belief Scottish football should be thrilled by the arrival of a surplus to requirement from Stamford Bridge. At the time he said: “I think there was something up to 24 clubs interested in taking Charly so for him to want to come here is a great coup.” His sentiments won’t be shared by the likes of Lewis Morgan or Ryan Christie. Look at Roberts. At last he has seen the light and is about to shed the ‘comfort blanket’ of a somewhat career-stagnating two and half seasons here. There has been nothing long-term about his impact as he’s heading back to try his luck at Manchester City. No matter how you frame it, Celtic’s loan deal policy is full of flaws. It stifles academy kids to have stop-gap names on the back of their jerseys. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-loan-model-full-flaws-12526813 Tinsoldier has been out-Tinsoldiered.

Ugly huns calling a press conference today to try to do the league title win yesterday.
Keep up the good work...here we go to 10IAR! The Huns have called a press conference? I'd imagine they'll announce something fairly big-ish in order to take the shine off our league win and the upcoming final.
Couple of new signings? Investment? Boardroom shuffle?

I watched Sportscene this morning - at the end of the game, when we are getting the trophy, the commentator says, "7 in a row, 3 more to go " or words to that effect- can't see him lasting in the media!!

To be fair all these diddy managers know just mentioning us or our players will get them some column inches it's the only way they can stay relevant.

Ya creepy Kermit the Frog sounding carrot. Their entire transfer strategy since 2014 seems to involve bingeing on acid and Wyscout. And then phoning up as many representatives of completely unsuitable and below average players as possible.
Levein's "strategy" of playing 16 year old youths for most of the season is part sympathy vote (on pitch human shields deflecting from their alarming sixth place finish), and part inadequacy in recruitment over more than three years.
The number of medium to long term injuries they've had to their younger players, as well as others, goes beyond simple bad luck too. Dinosaur coaching and management.

Craig Brown - plenty of carrots in and around Scottish football but few of them, in my opinion, as detestable as him.

I don't believe it. Apparently his attention span has diminished though.
