Morning Celts
I come across young dembele while snooping about on transfermarkt and noticed his stats at blackpool. Seems he's finally finding his feet. Has hit 19 goals/ assists so far this season in 41 games. League one isn't great but at 21 its pretty good stats. Im not exactly sure why he left whether it was bad attitude or bad advice or maybe just rejected any contract from us. Always had talent and with our poor form from our front men makes me wonder how he would have faired if he was still here.
It also made me think about any other lesser known ex celts that have quietly done well since leaving us and i came across lewis morgan who has done well in MLS currently at NY red bulls. Despite a bad injury which sidelined him for most of last year has hit 20 goals in 46 games for them. Still only 27 and although he was given chances for us it never clicked for him and perhaps another where the jersey was too heavy. There was always a player there.
Not an ex celt but one we were heavily linked with when he was a kid that i came across is ryan gauld who also plays in the MLS and captains Vancouver. Has done really well with aprox 50 goals in his last 150 odd games from AM. This makes me think about how we have severly missed a goalscoring AM in recent years. Turnbull chipped in with a few but was otherwise poor. Rogic was good and has his moments but too inconsistent.

Any one else know of any lesser known ex celts that have went on and done well?
Also what good goalscoring AM have we had in the last 30 odd years? Only 3 or 4 come to mind for me
Thanks for the read lads.

DerryTim - Not sure about lesser Celts going on to do well, but I am sure that every successful Celtic team has had one or more very good attacking mids with a high goal return.
These guys are worth their weight in gold when strikers misfire and the AMs rescue the points. I feel it is essential to have such players in the squad.

West Ham apparently interested in Dembele.
