A lot has been made of Celtic’s youth system in recent times.

On the one hand, Celtic are dominating Scotland with ease, including winning the double last season, and also making it 14 titles out of the last 15.

So, in truth, that’s all that matters, no matter how Brendan Rodgers or anybody else goes about it, because it is the bread and butter.

But the fact remains that Celtic’s academy, or the young players coming through from the domestic circuit, aren’t being provided with the chances or are heading to England to earn a more financially rewarding contract.

However, with the 2025 summer transfer window open, and a lot of talk around who the club has signed or will sign.

It’s great to see, amid some people’s worry at a lack of youth coming through, that a young star is signing his first professional contract and locking in his future to Scotland’s most successful football club.
