    You would be getting a young centre back who is a man mountain of a player, who has played very well for the club at senior level, and is also capable of scoring goals at the other end, as he has proved here at Parkhead.Along with Caddis and Ferry , you would be getting three of our most promising young players, who I would imagine would be great assets to Swindon.

    I know he is young and stuff but for a lad of 19 20... he is easily the slowest runner ive ever seen and his positional sense is abysmal i would take cuthbert before him anyday.. i would go as far as saying he is 1 of the worst celtic players i have ever seen in my lifetime.

    He would do very well in that league imo.

    Out curiousity, everyone citing his pace as his weakness, what is his strong points then ?

    sounds a bit like a lad we already have on our books in sean morrison the biggest 18 year old ive ever seen so which is why i only think this is a rumour as id expect wilson to go for a bit more of a experienced c half our defence is relatively young

    he is quite slow but he could be a solid centre back with more experience, this could be just what he needs:50:

    He isnt good enough for celtic at the end of the day and i dont think he ever will be... but if he signs for your team i hope he does well for use.

    wee loan spell down south is exactly what he needs. i feel that we have hindered alot of young players potential through not giving them games and having them just sat on the bench!

    Hes a decent player lacks pace and needs to learn his trade a wee bitty more in terms of positioning and awareness but he has the raw potential he'll do you turn no probs!! but we will want him back!!

    Brilliant Silent Bob..I was thinking the same thing mate, but why Swindon? Would think it would be a club with some sort of Celtic connection like Lincoln.

    ah josh thompson another scapegoat in the celtic fans eyes, did well enough when he came in considering the experienced players he was playing beside were absolute diddies, the boy isnt gifted with pace but tries to keep it simple with clearing his lines, very good in the air and was in the england under-19s squad there
