Euros Elite phase matches coming up for Rocco in March and then possibly finals in the Summer, all going very well.
He'll be 18 in April and a promotion to the 21's again they play serious matches again in the Autumn would not be out of the question. Still only 17 but seems to have been around a while now...exciting talent.

It's Celtic's fault Afolabi and Coffey turned out to be mediocre players? Lee O'Connor only played for Celtic for 3 months, he signed and then got loaned out. He was not good enough for Celtic, but used his loan period wisely and will carve out a good career for himself at a lower level and good luck to him. I agree with Connell that he never really got an opportunity, but the reality is that there was a lot of players ahead of him. Okoflex played and was nowhere near good enough - it will be interesting to see how he develops. But I don't think he was any loss from what I saw. I've listed 4 random players above who Celtic developed through the ranks and still continue to play, and again if your good enough you will play. I don't think Celtic are doing anything differently than any other club to be honest. |

Your very first sentence shows you never even bothered to read the post - I explicitly stated that Afolabi and Coffey were never going to be good enough and that their subsequent moves have borne this out. It was the others mentioned who all have legitimate potential that was completely squandered by Celtic's meat-grinder approach to player signings.

Vata scores today for Celtic B in a 5-2 win over Rangers B. Charlie McCann contributes a penalty for Rangers B cancelled out by an own goal at the other end.

Scotland have never contacted them according to Vata's father. |

Republic of Ireland youth star Rocco Vata is showing "really good promise" at Celtic, according to the club's captain Callum McGregor. The 17-year-old son of ex-Hoops star Rudi Vata had been ... |

A serious team that with Ryan Nolan anchoring the back line! In terms of Vata, it does seem to feel like Celtic do rate him so maybe he will get more of a look in than the likes of Luca Connell etc.

If he's an Irishman doing well at Celtic then there's definitely something to to be excited about

This lad should genuinely be fast tracked to senior side.

Ah come on, he looks talented, but he's 17 and has played one senior game of football.

Of course. Hourihane, Daryl Horgan and CJ Hamilton should be in ahead of him. If Vata's talented enough, or looks like he soon will be talented enough, he's one they could make space for, in a developmental capacity at least. We shouldn't have to wait for a lad to make 20 first-team appearances like Joe Hodge or Will Smallbone before they're even considered, if they look like they have the talent.

Firstly, none of the three listed should be in the Irish squad and I dont see anybody on here clamouring for their inclusion. Vata has made one brief sub app for Celtic in the SPL. He looks very good playing for Celtic's B Team in the Scottish Lowland League and at U17 level internationally, he has played just twice for our U19 team. The next step (if his underage coaches consider him good enough) would be promotion to the U21s for their next campaign which begins in September. Meantime he has the U19 games in March and hopefully the U19 Euros in June to concentrate on. I havent seen enough of him to know whether or not he is an exceptional talent, he is certainly getting rave reviews playing in what is effectively a pub league. Until he actually plays some form of senior football, there is absolutely no way he should even be considered for a full Irish squad. If, hopefully when, he breaks into Celtic's first team, then he can put himself into contention.
