Celtic Colts

Good news on Ronan Ferns..

 

Celtic are delighted to announce the latest group of young players to have signed their first professional contract with the club as they take the next step in their career.

Ahead of the 2023/24 season getting underway, 13 players have put pen to paper, each of them signing three-year contracts.

The players are: Kalvin Bennett, Cole Crawford, Rhys Dargie, Ronan Ferns, Marcus Gill, Finlay Hale, Robbie Heron, Samuel Isiguzo, Andrew Kyle, Jamie Meikle, Tom Pickford, Robert Rachwal and Aidan Rice.

For all the young players at the club, they have great role models in captain, Callum McGregor and James Forrest, both of whom graduated from the club’s Youth Academy.

Last season proved to be another successful year for the Academy. Alongside those players who made their debuts for the first team, the Celtic FC B squad also lifted the Glasgow Cup, and the Under-18s achieved Scottish Youth Cup final success at Hampden Park.

Everyone at the club wishes all the players every success as they continue their football journey here at Celtic.

 

We need some signings for the B team, they've not started well with the replacements for the ones that have aged out/ been loaned away/ just left

 

We don’t need new signings for them.

We want these boys to get better, there’s plenty of talent in there. I think people forget the level they are playing at.

 

See for all the chat of the B team not being able to get promoted and the 5th not being appropriate. See for the talent pool we currently have excluding a run in the middle of last season we haven’t exactly looked unstoppable or even to quality in that league.

I know the argument is you get higher up the league produce better players or sign better but at the moment there are few who seem to be even close to having what it takes to make a proper top division career let alone at Celtic.

The fact Vata is still playing that level suggests to me he’s off.

 

if we could go further up we would not need to loan players out and some wouldnt leave. I think that is the main argument.

 

Looking at our current position in the lowland league would suggest the current squad are low in quality, this is the problem you play at this level or try and get into the first team squad and there appears to be nothing in between, it goes from sublime to the ridiculous in terms of quality between the 2 levels.

 

Just like the first team, players need brought in and we haven’t done it.

 

This on TV/stream anywhere?

 

Unfortunately not mate

 

1-1

 

East K score again 2-1

 

And it’s another loss
