Young Johnston could put forrest out that Celtic team within the year, in calling it. Big prospect. Some debut.

Johnston can play both wings playmaker / c mid and attack. as can Miller nesbitt and hendry (who isn't just as comfortable on the wings) we have some talent coming through in that area. if our centre backs could progress a bit we could have a home grown team playing.
Gordon
Ralston
Mcart
Deas. Kerr. welsh (3 young boys)
Tierney
Nesbitt
Brown
Johnstone
Armstrong
Miller
Griffs
With McGregor Christie forrest Henderson hill 13 of whom are academy boys.

I think he will have a place in the squad next season definitely, but I think if we make one major signing this summer it will be for that position so he'll have more than Forrest to contend with. Lennoxtown seems to be kicking into action though, we had five players from the academy on the park against St Johnstone, there on merit, which is an encouraging sign for the next couple of years.

Once johnstone fills out and becomes stronger we've got a real player and think ralston will save us a few quid as we don't need to buy a rb.

Competition is key in all areas of the pitch. A player signed in that position can only be good for johnstons growth as a player! If he continues to produce he will be a big part of Celtic eventually! Deep river bhoy, you have a good point, the Development squad is looking very promising as it stands!

We need to be very careful who we buy in and for what position . With the squad we have and talent coming through we certainly need to buy very good players and probably only a couple . The other thing is we have the very best coaches in Scotland and it seems to me rather stupid to send young players out to work with inferior coaches . We need to work on getting meaningful games against teams of similar age in Endland and on the continent.
