Celtic's youth academy has blossomed over the past 20 years, make no mistake. But over the past half decade there has been a severe lack of starlets who have made the first-team picture at Parkhead.
Of the current crop, only Callum McGregor and James Forrest can be considered true 'stalwarts', while the likes of Anthony Ralston and Stephen Welsh are back on the fringes despite their strong performances over the past 18 months. Kieran Tierney is another who had a great Hoops career, but there have been failures to develop players in the past with youngsters such as Karamoko Dembele, Scott Robertson and Jack Aitchison all failing to make the grade despite promising starts.
But with Bruno Davidson signing a new contract on Monday afternoon, it is a telling sign that Celtic are trusting their youth more than in previous years. And with that in mind, Record Sport takes a look at five blossoming stars that could make the step-up to the first-team in the coming months and years.
