A Believer Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 It's not exactly a surprise. It's what both clubs do all the time. Some work out and some don't. At least now the Lowland League are get that all important social media plug. You've also got their 'B' team goalie signing an extension. Talking about playing in the Lowland League next season. Another Englishman signed from Tottenham a couple of years ago. https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/june/Hoops-stopper-Tobi-Oluwayemi-signs-new-deal-with-Celtic/"At least now the Lowland League are get that all important social media plug." I'm sure we are, I think; maybe....eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Wee update from yesterday's Hampden battle of the national sides which have benefitted from having colt/b-sides in their systems. Czech Republic 1 (zero ex colts in their starting side) Croatia 1 (3 ex cots in their side, totalling a massive 14 games between them at b level). Dominik Livaković 1 game Josip Brekalo 9 games Joško Gvardiol 4 games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternapper Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Am against Colts being involved in the league pyramid full stop. Some trying to justify it keep saying about Croatia which is hardly convincing, how about say Wales, Norway & other countries of similar populations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Colts in the Lowland League is happening. Let's agree to disagree on the numerous arguments surrounding their inclusion. Nobody is forcing individual fans going to their fixtures so if you don't like it just stay away. Simples. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Just out of interest ,because I don't know the answer : how many Lowland League clubs and fans would rather see a 5-0 win over the Colts - rather than the improvements of the national side, say 5 years down the line ? How many colts will force their way into the 1st teams anyway ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnieman Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I think Billy Gilmour, Nathan Patterson and David Turnbull are showing what you need to do to get to International level and it doesn't include B teams. Kieran Tierney and Andy Robertson before them as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 So I hear that Celtic B will be playing their home games at Airdrie whilst Rangers B will play their home games at Dumbarton? Without trying to be funny, I thought it would be the other way about. Airdrie is quite a "Rangers town" so Rangers playing there would perhaps get footfall through the turnstiles? It's going to be crowded though with Airdrie, Rangers B and Glasgow Uni all playing at home there... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmc80 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Sad day to see dumbarton fc bending over and accommodating the full length of the colts in exchange for there pitch being cut by rangers ‘b’ groundsman. Moonster will be burning his season book as we speak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fannies It was meant to be a ground that was capable of meeting licencing standards. So it's possible neither meet them. Maybe staffing the ground on a match day also comes into it if they're attempting to actually draw a crowd. Since they can tap into the existing infrastructure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the one thing in their rule book that they have stuck to during this B team saga, threw a few rules out of the window to accommodate then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photographers were at Innerleithen and Gala to do the squad pictures like these yesterday...that's all I'm saying. I don't know if an announcement is imminent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
