The inside track on the football stories that matter
Celtic are seeing an increased number of academy graduates leave the club in search of first-team football elsewhere after Daniel Kelly sealed a move to Millwall.
The 18-year-old turned down offers from Premier League clubs, German sides and also MLS sides to make the move to South London. The departures of two of the club’s brightest young stars have raised questions about the pathway into the first-team squad for talents coming through the academy system.The step up from academy level to senior level is a big step to make. The differences between boys’ and men’s football are often too much for young players early in their careers.
This has particularly been the case under Rodgers, and it was under his management and guidance that both Kelly and Vata decided their futures were better served elsewhere.Some of the most high-profile Celtic academy graduates include James Forrest, Callum McGregor, Anthony Ralston and Mikey Johnston, who remain a key part of the first team.
fans have also begun to grow frustrated with the club’s treatment of their young players after Rodgers’ comments on Kelly before pre-season: “I spoke with the agents and the player some months back to say, ‘Listen, if we can’t tidy this up by the summer, then it’s very hard to be with the team in pre-season’. It’s as simple as that.”
