an-dee Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Point being? We sold a youth player for £9m who now plays for Everton. It was in reply to your comment regarding the only decent Scottish talent we've had in years being bought from Livi. Was that not fairly obvious?

Paris Hilltoon Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Eoin Jess. Can't believe its been 4 pages! For us, as RG said, Scott Brown looks like he could be good. I was uber impressed against Luzern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling he's an above average defender at that level who gets more hype than he probably deserves due to his name, could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have one of if not THE biggest academy in Scotland, and who have you produced recently for the National team? The only two I can think of in recent memory are McGeady (Ireland) and Forrest. Calum McGregor may well be the next but are you not even slightly embarrassed that a side like Livi or others can produce better than Celtic? Example, Snodgrass. Celtic don't do enough to blood in their youngsters when realistically, they are currently the biggest and best team and Scotland and until Deila took over, there was zero evidence of Celtic trying to blood exciting players other than Forrest.

Going back a decade or so then John Kennedy could've been very decent , but even then that's clutching at straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None stick out from the top of my head, I do know our youth system has produced many a decent players, unfortunately you'll find them littered throughout the Scottish and English leagues and not at Celtic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're churning out players that aren't good enough for your club. You hoover up all of the brightest talents you can at a very young age, and very few, if any other than Forrest have made it at your club or at a national level in recent history. I think the fact that every team in the Prem has had an ex-Celt youth says a lot more about your club than it does any other considering you have a free pick of the bunch.

While they also have a player playing at one of the top English sides. Theres no other club in this country who have youth players at the same level, Livingstons best is Snodgrass, who plays for a mid-table EPL side and Dorrans, who plays for a mid-table EPL side.
