I think ramsay will start on Thursday night Brown and McRorie were also benched. I think he was thinking about Europe. Seemed a bit risky since you'd think the league would be Aberdeen's priority, but he clearly has a lot of faith in his players. He's possibly also thinking he'll get more funds if they qualify for Europe. Again, risky, since Celtic withhold funds virtually every year until Celtic and qualify. Most of the time failing to do so. Partly because of not being funded. Vicious cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to the guy that's a couple of cracking goals he's bagged. It'd be good if he developed into an option under Celtic's new regime, but the way they keep getting linked with other right-backs I doubt that'll happen.

If Patterson doesn't get games and Ramsay continues his impressive start, then Ramsay should at least be called into the squad for Clarke to have a closer look. I agree with that. From what I've seen of Ramsay - which admittedly isn't much - he looks quite a prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried that a new manager coming in would be the end of having so many Scots. However, the opposite has been the case, so far. Both Christie and McGregor are completely rejuvenated under Ange. Ralston is getting unexpected game time. And Welsh has started the season very well. I'd love for Christie to stay at Celtic with the form he's in. Moving elsewhere will mean he has to prove himself again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Lanark Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 McLaughlin getting valuable minutes too; I would have him ahead of Clark as he is used to having long periods without a save to make and has to show concentration; he has never let Rangers or Scotland down and is younger than Gordon.

You have a player like Tierney down the left side putting some great balls in and the rest of the team don't seem to be in the same wavelength apart from maybe 1 other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have some cracking young players who are on the cusp of being ready and he is afraid to give them minutes. People talk about how pragmatic Clarke is, but Gerrard is just as bad if not worse when it comes to young players. Kelly came on with 12 minutes to go and was impressive and done more than Arfield who came on earlier. Kelly should've started or even came on at halftime. He is more than ready for more minutes at Rangers. In the first leg against Malmö, Arfield was done by 50/60 minutes and Lundstrom was rotten. No one is going to tell me bringing fresh and hungry legs on in Kelly wouldn't have been a better option, than keeping 2 misfiring players on for 90 minutes. McCrorie (as #2), King, Kelly, McPake, Kennedy, Middleton and others are more than good enough to be squad options for Rangers. Patterson should be a starter as well. I previously gave Gerrard a lot of leeway when it came to young players as we had to stop Celtic winning 10iaR* but now that was stopped, he has to think about the longterm development of the club. Arfield is done and we should be phasing him out and trying to bring Kelly through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic have shown that if you put faith in talented youngsters they can reward you. McPake sounds like a great prospect but I believe he's spending this season on loan at Morecambe!

Robinson is a very underated manager who is good at developing young players. Hopefully he has a good season. He went out too early on loan and it seemed to stunt his development.

syecosse Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Mctominay apparently had a very good game today for Man U, Cooper played for Leeds, Stretton scored for Derby and Dembele for Peterborough in the early fixtures today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookerman Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I see Jack Stretton a 19 year old forward , fingers crossed, just wondering how eligible he is for scotland, born in England. Hopefully a big season ahead for Dembele will convince him to go all in with Scotland, with the added bonus we might get the youngest one back too if he has his heart set on playing with his brother.
