How much do we spend on our youth set-up? £2m per annum maybe?
Since Tommy Burns set it up properly - 18 years ago - we’ve had 12 player in the first team squad:
Marshall
Kennedy
McGeady
Maloney
McManus
O’Dea
Forrest
MacGregor
McGeough
Henderson
Tierney
Ralston

So that equates to an average of 1 player every 1.5 years - at an estimated average cost of £3m per player - not a bad return, especially when you think we got the guts of £10mil for McGeady and would get £20mil+ for Tierney, so we’d make our money back if we needed to.

Of course, we do produce a lot of players for other SPL sides, but that’s part of the selling point isn’t it? When trying to persuade a parent that Celtic is the best place for their talented kid, the club sell the “good grounding” leading to either breaking into the squad (like those above) or finding a good level club to take them on., and the potential of being a Jackson Irvine - didn’t quite make it with us, went to Ross County then the English Championship (for a decent wedge) and today is playing in the World Cup.

He looked really good tonight. ITV pundits mentioned him in the post-match discussion so probably EPL bound.
The right back who came on - Lang - also looked solid. And I thought the Iceland left back looked good too - can play centre back too so could be good cover - but rumours he is of to CSKA Moscow, so probably too late there.

Shows how badly we need a right back, centre half and cover at left back that i’ve focused on those positions when watching games with the “less glamorous” teams.
