Celtic's development team was scudded when they played Livingston in the Irn Bru Cup so I wouldn't expect them to have a rapid rise up to Championship level.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
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.
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.
But we couldn't play the current U20 as a colt team if we want any progress on those players

the opposition that they would face would offer them very little, even less than they face now

so we would need for the current u20 team to enter the reserve league as they are planning and then have another team to compete as the colt team with players that normally wouldn't be offered new contracts

there might be a few highland teams that have a "decent" quality, but the rest and most of the teams that they would face in div 2 and div 1 aren't good enough for our players to learn much

Livingstone were almost as powerful in div 1 as we were in the SPL this season

with div 1 being the top the colt team could reach, it would make the current u20 team a decent div 1 side, and that without the youth players that we have on loan to other clubs

But I thought that the rangers method of not playing games was the way to go?

Hope the guy does well at Oxford, can't see him making the step up here,,,,we see to be struggling to find decent quality centre backs at 19+

Some look good when not under a lot of pressure but can't cope when under the cosh.

Learning the art of defending when we dominate games so much is a problem.

Rangers have a similar system running at Boclair academy and as of this coming August Hearts will do likewise at Balerno academy/high school.

I think the difference is that at Boclair and Balerno only a handful or so have been asked to go. I think.

Ross County Football Club would like to announce that midfielder Jamie Lindsay (21), has joined the club on loan from Celtic F.C. until the end of the season.

Speaking about the loan signing manager, Jim McIntyre said: "Jamie is a young exciting talent who had a fantastic season on loan at Morton last year and I am delighted to get him to our Club. I would like to thank Celtic for assisting in getting this deal done.

Jamie has joined the team in La Manga for their pre-season training camp and will be involved in the friendly matches we have arranged while there.

MORTON HAVE signed freed Celtic midfielder Connor McManus.

The 21-year-old has joined on a six-month deal and goes straight into the squad to face Motherwell tomorrow.

McManus enjoyed a brief spell on loan at Queen of the South last term, and once scored an audacious chip from 40 yards against AC Milan in the UEFA Youth League.

Ton been as Jim Duffy said: “Connor’s a talented player who was very well-schooled at Celtic. He’s a player I think has a lot to give.

“In terms of his personality, everyone is glowing about him, so I’m sure he’ll fit in very well amongst the boys.

“He’s a player who was available and who we’ve actually spoken about a few times in recent weeks.”
