Mathew getting his first loan goal against Stripfing

That reminds me, need to get my wallpaper in the hall done

 

Got the goals @Notorious ?

 

Pushing it mate here

 

Haha was worth a try.

 

I shall have a look in the morning

 

Did you fly there to film that yourself? Or have you just completed the firestick sourcing network? Hahah brilliant work as always mate

 

I'm saying nothing

 

Doing well by all accounts in Austria. If Tierney doesn't come in this month wonder can he be recalled early to compete with Taylor. Send frame out to keep admira onside..

With Greg Taylor vacating the No.3 jersey, there could soon be an opportunity for a homegrown talent to step up.


Returning hero Tierney will reclaim his place at left-back - but his injury record means Rodgers will need to manage his minutes carefully.


Rising star Matthew Anderson is among the most highly-rated emerging talents at Lennoxtown.

Dubbed “the next KT” by coach Greig Robertson, the defender spent last season on loan in Austria with feeder club Admira Wacker. Now 21, this summer could prove to be make-or-break




McManus said: "He's got a massive future in the game, absolutely massive. He's a terrific boy with a brilliant family, and again, you can only stay with us, with the B team, for a couple of seasons.

"Matthew outgrew the B team two years ago. That's why he's not played for the B team. That's why the next stage of his development was to go out and loan.

"Some people make their debut at 16 and then go and play for the rest of their careers. Some people are 21, 20, they need to go a different route. That's fine, that's fine



But what you need to do is, when you get an opportunity, you need to try and become a football player, and that's what Matthew's done.

"He's a terrific boy, terrific worker for a terrific family, and he'll be a top player. He'll be a top player."




For aspiring players, there are few better role models than Forrest, McGregor and Tierney.

Forrest recently overtook Lisbon Lion Bobby Lennox to become Celtic’s most decorated player, with 26 trophies to his name.

Skipper McGregor - whose own breakthrough came via a loan to Notts County - is only two major honours behind

 

Great to read this and hear how highly he is rated by McManus. Let’s not waste a few million on a backup to Tierney and give this boy a chance and let’s grow our own. Tireney will play all big games so someone who goes through our youth set up is perfect for the back up and use him in league and cups sensibly and we could have the next homegrown talent on our hands.

 

Wouldn’t be against giving this boy a chance tbh

 

First whispers of one of the 2 young lads maybe getting a chance. Would love to see him getting a proper shot at it this season.

 

Really liked the look of him last year. Should have gotten him a better loan deal this season but happy to give him another preseason and see if hes ready

 

Would love us to not bring in a left back and give this lad a decent shout as back up to Tierney. Don't care how many games he possibly could end up playing, he's in my opinion our best chance to integrate a player from the youth team into the first team and I include McArdle in that

21 now so has to happen this season.

 

If he's good enough then I'm all for him getting a chance.
