    Reserves was where players went to die, it wasn’t good for our development the way it ended up. Should 100% have been replaced with Colt teams though, which it wasn’t and is just now being discussed.

    Ye looks like he can be a solid first team player for years to come. One of the few positives to come out of the season

    Definite good news, even if his progress stalls (and it doesn’t look like it will) he’s a saleable asset.

    Celtic are delighted to announce that Stephen Welsh has signed a new four-year contract which will see him remain at the club until at least the summer of 2025.

    The 21-year-old centre-back has been with the club for well over a decade, having progressed through the Celtic Youth Academy ranks and into the first-team squad.

    Welsh made his first-team debut last season in a 4-1 away win over Hamilton in the Scottish Premiership in February, 2020.

    The young defender has since progressed well in the senior side – becoming a regualr in the starting XI since the turn of the year, and featuring against the likes of AC Milan and Lille during this season’s UEFA Europa League campaign.

    “I’m delighted to get it done and I’m here for another four years which is the perfect scenario for me,” said Welsh in an exclusive interview with Celtic TV.

    “I’ve been getting a consistent run of regular games since the Christmas period there. For me, it’s just about keeping that up, keep doing it, keep playing well until the end of the season.

    Brilliant news, he's improving every game and will play a massive part next season.

    He is still one for the future though, only way he will progress and reach his potential is for us to sign a couple of quality CBs that he can learn from. But yes, brilliant news he has got and signed a new contract.

    I agree, but imo there's reason he can't play a major part next year, A replacement CB for ajer and another CB to compete with Welsh would be perfect.

    Composed with good positional awareness, which helps with a lack of pace just needs to add a bit more presence and aggression to his game..

    But, aye one of the few highlights of this season...

    Well done.

    Delighted for him and thoroughly deserved.

    How Lennon played Duffy in front of him for so long is beyond us all. Night and day for who the better player is.

    Very well deserved and good news. Perfect boost for the lad ahead of the weekend I would think as well.

    Best news I’ve heard coming from the club in a long time. The boy absolutely deserves it. Hope he goes on to fulfil the potential he’s shown recently on a more consistent basis. Delighted for him well done!

    Not much good news this season, but this is one of them. Well deserved. With a proper coach could go far.

    Hail hail....
