Aye am sure it does. After that he can be poached by a club down south for a development fee only.

Hopefully the kid lives up to his promise and continues his development here. Could be a big star

Seems like the boy himself, and even more importantly right now the people around him, have their heads screwed on, have the right attitude and are doing the right things.

The SPFL have officially opened the door to colt teams entering the league - but they won’t be allowed to rise any higher than League One.

The formal proposal was circulated to all 42 senior clubs on Friday, inviting all SPFL clubs to submit an expression of interest in applying.

MailSport first revealed the move back in December as Celtic and Rangers drove the idea forward as part of the Project Brave revamp spearheaded by performance director Malky Mackay.

The offering has been refined since, and despite pressure on League Two clubs, it’s now understood any club entering a team would be expected to start at the bottom of the pyramid in either the Highland League or Lowland League and work their way up.

MailSport still believes, though, that the cost of running the full-blown second match-day operation demanded will be prohibitive for all but Celtic and Rangers to take part, although it is understood both Aberdeen and Hibs are giving heavy consideration to the idea as a replacement for any reserve team plan.

We have a copy of the proposal and the plans outlined are:

* Any new team will start in the Highland or Lowland League, although they leave themselves wriggle room here with the use of the word ‘ordinarily’.

* Colt teams will be allowed promotion - and relegation - within the Pyramid to a glass ceiling of League One.

* The teams will be for under-21 players, although the proposal could yet be changed to allow two over-age players.

* They would have to register a ground for the duration of the season and it would have to meet minimum League Two ‘bronze’ standards, including floodlighting. We revealed in December Celtic had already approached Morton for use of Cappielow.

* Staffing is a key requirement and the biggest obstacle for most clubs. Teams have to prove they have the resources to run on a day-to-day basis and also meet SFA standard entry level requirements to run a match day operation.

* Teams will NOT be allowed to play in either the Scottish Cup or Betfred Cup. They will, however, continue to be part of the IRN-BRU Cup.

* The current development league is still expected to be replaced by a Reserve League, as outlined in Project Brave.

The two Glasgow clubs had originally hoped to push the idea through in time for next season but it became clear at the turn of the year they would never reach approval by then.

Clubs have now been asked to submit their interest by June 30 to enter teams in the pyramid for the start of the 2018/19 season.

It would be better news if they were allowed in the Championship.

Dumb question but would that also be a decent thing for the lower level leagues as well? I'm not sure what the turnout is for a highland league/ligue 1 game but would have to think a decent size following for our youth teams would be an increase, no?

Wouldn't we need to have 3 teams then

I really think that our reserves wouldn't be really matched until they reach division 1.

So we would need a first team squad. Our better youth players plus the squad players that don't get enough first team players for the reserve side. And then the rest of the youth players plus the players that we can't get buyers for in the colt team.

So we would need to hold on to many more players each season instead of releasing them when their contracts runs out.

IMO it would be better to team up with a near by div 1/championship side with us ledning them some coaches/give their coaches some inspiration courches and a couple of youth players each year, there is a rule that would allow the players to play in the CL youth games while being on loan.

I think we'd only have 2 teams. The U20's would play in the Scottish league up until League 1. Then the next team down would be the under 17's who would continue to play in the SPFL under 17 league. We don't currently have a Under 18/19 side. I think part of the problem is that our older U20's stop developing when playing against 17/18 year olds, so moving them into the league structure would match them up against adults and therefore hypothetically challenge them more.

Then we should build on that.

No point i having players running around in the lower leagues where the don't get matched. Give them a year or two at Morton and the a year on loan to a SPL/English Championship side, if they don't have what it takes to make a influence in the Celtic side

Our youth players wouldn't get matches for the first couple of season. That would hinder their progress. We can't have that. We would need to have them playing in the upcomming reserve league.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep

That's what I mean. Effectively, we'd still just have the first team, and the U20's. But the only difference would be the U20's playing in League 2 (or the Lowland league) instead of the SPFL Development League.

So what I'm saying is we wouldn't have 3 teams. The Reserve team would be the U20's but under a different name.
