    One for promotion soon?

    Versatile
    Big
    Strong
    Pacey

    We could do with a bench option who can slot in at centre half if need be and he's supposed to be a very good box fo box player as well in the Doucoure mould..

    I know game time is paramount but if we can't get the kinda signings in the door then some of the best prospects can stake a claim..

    Guess his promotion to first team squad will be dependent on how many is the deadbeat/non contributors we can offload.

    Considering the reports he's getting and his performances so far for the colts and obvious pedigree and our defencesive problems and Anges balls to try youngsters, I'm surprised he hasn't been given a first team outing..

    Am I right in saying you need to either be registered to play for the Celtic B's in the Lowland League or the first team in the SPFL? I.e. you cant jump between the two outside of transfer windows?

    I think but not 100% that if you play a certain amount of games for the first team you can't return to the colts

    Would have him on the bench over Urghoride from what I've seen.

    I've only seen Urghoride but from reports does seem like an obvious swap.

    Makes sense for a bit of continuity and to not take the * out of the Lowland league but these guys will learn nothing from pumping teams 10-0. I know they've been beat and drawn but they are above that standard.

    Hopefully something reasonable can be sorted. Even joining say, the English championship reserve league or something.

    Probably pushes guys out the door like Hjlede. No point in Hjelde playing in the Lowland league.

    If no one comes in then I'd be tempted to promote this boy..

    I think he's probably close as it is but we'll actually need him now..

    Can play centre half
    Centre mid
    Strong
    Quick
    Aggressive
    Really talented

    Troy Deeny compared him to a box to box Doucore..

    We could massively do with someone like that in our side. It lacks any steel..

    Yeah looks like we’ll need to rely on a few youth players stepping up mate.

    Lawal as CB/CM cover.

    As for Christie replacement, I’ve always liked Ewan Henderson but he’s not had a sniff for ages now so not sure if he’ll get the chance or not. Think he’s probably the closest thing we’ve got to a Christie replacement in the squad.

    Definitely mate and Lawal looks ready made physically already..

    We actually don't even have a player in his mould for central midfield, which is a problem in itself..

    Henderson i rated but he's lightweight and kinda stagnated for me. No sure what to make of him now, although he could make an impression off the bench under Ange..

    Apparently strolling it in the lower league as well, I’d put that Urogheadie down into the colts and bring Lawal into the squad.

    Been very impressed with him. Absolutely looks a player but is he only 17?

    Looks too big and strong for that.

    With our current CM situation I'd be giving him a few games until January, very highly rated and he'll probably be in our first choice next season anyway.

    I don’t think people realise how bad the lowland league is…

    I'm sure that's true, but he really does shine above most others. Definitely looks like he could step up several levels.

    Right now Dane Murray is ahead of him.

    Hjelde was several levels above him.
