A lot of speculation who could leave who could arrive. but cl qualifying will creep out and UEFA will require 25 players for the A list my challenge to anyone willing to take.. NAME YOUR 25!

It can get complicated picking a squad of 25 players due to rules and regulations.
I think Celtic have to pick at least 8 homegrown players out of the 25 man squad.
At least half of those homegrown players have got to have come through the Celtic academy and played at least 3 years from the ages of 15 to 21 years old.
The rest but no more than 4 players are eligible, if they played for other Scottish clubs at that age group for 3 years.
The players can also be of any nationality, as long as the have that 3 years homegrown training.

The home grown players in the squad, subject to any who have been released at the start of this transfer window are:
Mark Hill age 21
Stephen Welsh age 20 Academy
Daniel Church age 19 Academy
Scott Brown age 34
Scott Robertson age 18 Academy
Jack Aitchison age 20 Academy
Leigh Griffiths age 29
Ryan Christie age 25
Ross Doohan age 22 Academy
Anthony Ralston age 21 Academy
Jack Hendry age 25
Ewan Henderson age 20 Academy
James Forrest age 28 Academy
Scott Bain age 28
Ryan Mullen age 19 Academy
Brody Paterson age 19 Academy
Callum McGregor age 27 Academy
Mikey Johnston age 21 Academy
Robbie Deas age 20 Academy.

So, an earlier post I said that the Academy were on the right tracks with the progress of the Development players.

Young Ewan Henderson didn't do a lot wrong in the first team before he went out on loan. Hope he gets a chance with us, think he's a cracking young player.

Based on the squad list above, it typifies what needs to be done to get the finished product up to speed for the high-end of our league and also the qualification stage (s) in Europe.
Making a team from the Academy players gives you the following (4-2-3-1) :

Doohan

Ralston
Welsh
Deas
Church

Hill (? )
Robertson

Henderson
Aitchison
Johnston

Paterson

Mark Hill was brought in from Motherwell and not sure whether he qualifies as the 3 year Academy rule. There's still plenty of development to go in the team shown but I don't think as a whole it would do a lot at the higher level. The attrition rate for youngsters is immense. I've been at games where the younger players have shown up well but discarded due to them reaching their level. It would be good to see another kind of Lions achievement in terms of the collective all coming from the Academy but I doubt it would happen in the above case.

ED007 it seems Anne Budge is launching legal action against the SPFL.
My question is this, I was under impression it was against SFA rules to go to a court other the CAS and that said club could be expelled from league.
Do you know if this is indeed the case. Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - CAS is simply a court where the arbitration of appeals is heard.}

Could somebody please tell me what I have missed. I thought there was a unanimous vote by Premiership clubs to end the season as things stood? How can Hearts be looking to take legal action for something they voted for?

League reconstruction motion - epic fail!

@oldkilly I think there's an issue with the site when I log in it doesn't have any of my purchase history.

15 Jun 2020 15:47:53
I'm the same Jaw, it used to give you all your purchase history from years back but it's now showing no purchase history when you log in. It's a bit concerning when you've paid for your ST and it shows no purchase history.

15 Jun 2020 16:09:06
That was my concern Stevie thankfully I've got the confirmation email.
