2025/26 players out on loan update

Loan round from the previous weekend from the Celtic way


Given the volume of youngsters away representing their countries, few loanees were in action over the past week.

Josh Clarke started for Partick Thistle as they earned a one-all draw against Greenock Morton at Cappielow in the Scottish Championship. He made a terrific save in the first half before his team grabbed a late leveller in the second. Clarke has caught the eye at Thistle for his shot-stopping and impressive ability to play out from the back.

Sean McArdle, also on loan at Mark Wilson's side, didn't feature in the Morton draw because he was away with Scotland's under-19s, who drew one and lost the other in a double-header with Italy.

Finally, 17-year-old right-back Aodhan Taylor continued racking up senior minutes at East Stirlingshire. He featured in back-to-back losses to Greenock Juniors (2-1) and Tranent Juniors (4-2), coming off with an ankle knock against the latter. The injury didn't look too serious, as he was able to walk off the pitch.

 

Still no gametime for Nawrocki. I'd say we could end up releasing him on a free transfer next summer at this rate if he's struggling to get minutes in a back 3 in Bundesliga II. He could arguably be the pound for pound biggest flop of the Mark Lawwell era.

 

He’s been out with an injury and not long back


Hasn’t really had the luck

 

Don't think its injuries as he has consistently been on the bench for them including pre season, he's been an unused sub in all games bar 1 where he didn't make the match day squad. He's obviously not making an impact. He might get a run soon as they shipped another 3 goals today but its very worrying he doesn't seem to be able to get minutes particularly when its a back 3 that should be easier for him to crack. Even when a CB is subbed he's not getting the call.

 

Go back and look at the reports I’ve posted in this thread


He was injured for a while when he arrived

 

Celtic's two homegrown Scottish Premiership loanees each suffered defeats at the weekend. Adam Montgomery played just over an hour as Livingston were thrashed 4-0 by Hibernian at Easter Road. Fellow defender Stephen Welshcompleted 90 minutes in Motherwell's 2-1 loss at home to Falkirk. Calvin Miller, who made five senior Celtic appearances after coming through the club's academy, scored the first top-flight goal of his career to draw the Bairns level and kickstart a comeback win.

Down a division in the Scottish Championship, Partick Thistle moved level on points with league leaders St Johnstone. Before they took on Scott Brown's side in a game with several Celtic associations on Wednesday, they secured a crucial 1-0 win over Ross County at the weekend.

Josh Clarke and Ben McPherson started the match and played a full 90 each. It was a third clean sheet of the campaign for the goalkeeper, with McPherson particularly impressing at right-back. Sean McArdle was an unused substitute


Ayr set themselves up for the Tuesday night clash at Firhill with a victory of their own. Kyle Ure and Jude Bonnar both came on as 59th-minute substitutes in a 2-1 triumph over Greenock Morton. The latter made a considerable impact on proceedings, setting up Ben Dempsey's late winner with a smart cut-back cross.

Then, in the battle of former Celtic teammates, it was Mark Wilson who came out on top. Clarke and McPherson started for Thistle in their 2-1 win, with Ure getting the nod for Ayr. The young midfielder was caught on the ball for the hosts' opener, which was scored by ex-Parkhead prospect Tsoanelo Letsosa.

McArdle came on as a late substitute and helped his team see out the win, electing to take the ball into the corner and shield it well in the dying embers instead of going for glory.

Finally, there was a full 90 for 17-year-old Aodhan Taylor, as East Stirlingshire were beaten 5-3 by the University of Stirling in the Lowland League.




Young Celtic goalkeeper Tobi Oluwayemi, who made 36 appearances during a temporary spell at Dunfermline Athletic last season, has joined Kilmarnock on a seven-day emergency loan deal.

The 22-year-old could feature for Stuart Kettlewell's side against Rangers at Ibrox this weekend, and when they welcome Aberdeen to Rugby Park next Wednesday night.
