Youth/Development Team Thread

Henderson has not been poor in his appearances so far. Anyone with half a brain can tell there is a player there. He's made a positive impact in any game he's came on and if he does make a mistake it's because he is so willing to get involved and try things.

He's the most well rounded, promising prospect to come out our academy in a long, long time.

 

Do we have any promising strikers coming through? I thought Keatings and Atajic would be good for us but are clearly not.

Would love it if we had our own youngsters of the same pedigree as Barca.

I can't believe they brought Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Valdes and countless others through from their youth team.

Different culture all together over there. Having a school on the grounds exclusively for the youth team so they can have their education whilst training every day.

We need something like that over here.

 

Thought they were dire against Dunfermline until the 3 subs came on, Miller added pace and skill on the wing, Hill a bit of steel in the middle and Lafferty at least gave a bit of presence up front when he replaced McGrath ....seems the younger lads is where the talent lays !!

 

3-2 win over Hibs tonight for the youths, goals from Calvin Miller, Joe Thomson and Callum McGregor

 

Is this Calvin Miller looking like he might be the real deal?

 

Good stuff

 

Seen him a year or two ago and thought he really had something about him such a good first touch and a really good strikers instinct. Think there were a few folk blowing it out of all proportion like he'd be messi :bbpd:

 

Been hearing about him for ages just never actually seen him play.

Hope he's nothing like Messi, that wee Argie dwarf would never have made it in Scottish fitba

 

He must be a decent prostpect if Frail is keeping him in the U21s squad and he's only 17 and being called up for scotland. I was impressed by him when I seen him just don't like to hype up a 15 year old you know

 

Joe Thomson supposedly standing out again, surely will get a chance in the first team before the end of the season.

 

:smiley-laughing002:

He would average 2 goals per game if he played for us.

 

Henderson just scored for Scotland U19s in the Elite round against Austria. McMullan with the assist.

 

THE date for the Celtic Development Squad’s English Premier League International Cup quarter-final match with Manchester City has been confirmed for Thursday, April 16, at the City Football Academy.
Stevie Frail’s side won their place in the knockout stages of the competition in its inaugural year by beating Sunderland and Villarreal as well as drawing with Everton, to set up a mouth-watering tie against the Sky Blues in the last eight of the tournament.

Cheers for the update.

 

Youngsters taking on Hamilton in the Youth Cup QF tonight, already 2-0 up after 10 minutes with both goals from Luke Donnelly

 

At least 3 of those playing against us will be playing for us on loan next season no doubt. Oor Ronny will be down there watching.

 

HT Celtic 2 Hamilton 1

 

it's possible

 

Full time cup quarter final, Celtic 2 Hamilton 1, seems going by twitter Celtic were getting dominated in the second half but held on for the win.
