So how do you feel about playing a couple of teenagers, Filip Twardzik and debutant Jackson Irvine, in central midfield, but dropping a couple of SPL points? Good, I hope. Welcome to the world of player development.
For a decade or more Celtic produced prodigious youth teams but watched as Dundee United, Hibs, Hearts even Hamilton Accies graduated more effective adult players. Key to this is perhaps ensuring that players are tested at a higher level at key times in their development. In short, if you have not played regular first team football by the time you are 22 there is a good chance you will not fulfil your potential.
There is cost to this development, you’re not going to win all the time, especially when the two teenage central midfielders are surrounded by other young players: Adam Matthews, 20, Tony Watt, 18 and James Forrest, 21. Half time substitute, Victor Wanyama, is still only 21.
I’m looking forward to seeing more teenage kicks in the coming months.

ref at the hun game ..G Somers ..we have had to endure this wee tool before ..
was outed as a hun…fairly obvious given his handling of the game thus far
it really is shameful that the MIB consider it necessary to assist sevco even tho` they`re in div3…
btw ..huns defence is atrocious ..would love to see Commons,Sammi,Forrest,Hooper and co running at them …
Couldnae care less about a fourth tier corrupt criminal outfit. Hopefully the only top tier they’ll ever see is in ‘A’ Hall @ The Bar Linnie.

Very kind of a certain Irish bookie giving us 7/4 man u n rvp to score
