South Lanarkshire Jag Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 The Development League(formerly known as the Under 20s) kicks off this week so felt it appropriate to start a new thread for the season ahead. This year the league is extended to 17 teams with newly promoted Premiership side Dundee joining us this season. As a consequence of this it means that teams will have 2 "bye weeks" The rules have also changed this year with up to 5 over-age players allowed in each squad of 18. Teams can also field 2 trialists. This weeks fixtures are: Mon 4th August Celtic v St. Mirren - Cappielow - 7pm Thistle v Rangers - Firhill - 7pm Tues 5th August Dundee v St. Johnstone - Gayfield - 7pm Falkirk v ICT - Falkirk Stadium - 2pm Hamilton v Motherwell - NDP - 6pm Ross County v Kilmarnock - Grant Street Park - 6pm Aberdeen v Hamilton - Postponed to be played 11th August Hearts v Dunfermline - Postponed to be played 11th August Free Week - Dundee United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreenMonster Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Potentially more games for Celtic youngsters this season as apparently the English Premier League are set to unveil a new European U-21 Youth tournament featuring 8 English sides and 8 sides from other countries which will include Celtic English teams - Chelsea, Fulham, Leicester City, Man City, Man Unt, Southampton, Sunderland & West Ham European teams - Celtic, Athletic Bilbao, Benfica, Borussia Monchengladbach, Schalke, FC Porto, PSV Eindhoven, Villarreal http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2716105/Premier-League-announce-new-European-cup-competition-U21-sides.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 How are Celtic going to accomodate Potentially more games for Celtic youngsters this season as apparently the English Premier League are set to unveil a new European U-21 Youth tournament featuring 8 English sides and 8 sides from other countries which will include Celtic English teams - Chelsea, Fulham, Leicester City, Man City, Man Unt, Southampton, Sunderland & West Ham European teams - Celtic, Athletic Bilbao, Benfica, Borussia Monchengladbach, Schalke, FC Porto, PSV Eindhoven, Villarreal http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2716105/Premier-League-announce-new-European-cup-competition-U21-sides.html The format comprises four groups of four with the winners and runners-up advancing to the quarter-finals. All knockout games will be played over two legs and it is hoped the clubs’ main stadiums will be used for matches. Is this Celtic accepting they won't beat Legia? If not, how will they accomodate this + 32 Development League games + Youth Cup + UEFA Youth CL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartTaylor Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 County 2 Killie 2 Killie scored first with a great shot into top corner, County equalised soon after with a Stevie Ross header and scored a second before half time with a Ben Frempah header. Killie deservedly equalised though, after some sloppy County defending . They created enough chances to win. Sorry no idea of Killie scorers.

realmadrid Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 1pm pitch inspection for tonight's Dundee v St Johnstone game which should see a return to action for Murray Davidson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no news as to whether or not it's going ahead. We'd have perhaps featured Scott Bain as he's been out for the majority of pre-season.

Ludo*1 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 We're playing a good few over-agers tonight with the line-up as follows: Bain, Sivewright, Kerr, Davidson, Benedictus, Gemmell, Roberts, Colquhoun, Skelly, Wighton, Riley. Murray Davidson and Chris Kane are the only names I recognise from St J's line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Straight away can see the difference there will be in this league this season with the side Dundee have out tonight. Bain, Davidson, Benedictus, Roberts, Wighton and Riley, plus I suppose Kerr, all starting. Should be a much higher standard and although less young players might be involved, those that are should benefit from playing alongside better players. In terms of betting opportunities, Dundee are 2/1 on bet365, which looks very good. Really good value to be had in this league as you can get huge differences between the teams but the bookies tend to just stick to who is higher in the league etc...

It doesn't look so good now as St Johnstone are 1-0 up. Chris Kane free-kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
