Development Squad progress

[Malongoals]

Nice to see the U20s winning their last three games on the bounce, up to 8th in the table, with Rangers to play on Thursday.

If we do fail to get promoted and find ourselves in the Championship for a third season, it would be interesting to see the likes Oli Shaw perhaps making the step-up next year

The new goalie played the whole game...makes you think he may be the pick for the Semi.

Just had a quick look at the development league table and Celtic are 16 points clear with 2 games in hand over second place.

What is it they are doing that their youngsters are miles ahead of everyone else?

They have something called money and they can pick the players they want.

They poach them at the age of 12/13. Remember the name Jack Adamson. With us for four years, captain of Scotland's U16s, lured to Rangers last year. Real shame but it's the sad reality of Scottish football

They sign them at a young age and keep them playing in the same team together, it helps them progress better and at a faster rate than other teams

Often Scout all over Scotland, Ireland, England and sometimes Europe and that's why they get the best from all areas.

Their Development budget is reportely c£3m which is larger than just about every other first team's budgets in Scotland. The also have about three teams worth of players out on loan.
Having said that what players have they produced for their first team recently other than Tierney?
