Brendan Rodgers has promised to use some of Celtic’s Academy kids against Partick Thistle tomorrow night.

No names and no numbers have been revealed by the Celtic boss but wherever he looks there are plenty of options to chose from.

Key to the development of the younger players this season has been the experience of playing in the u-19 Champions League.

Whenever youth teams lose results take second place to gaining experience, with six matches against Barcelona, Manchester City and Borussia Monchengladbach Celtic’s u-19 squad have learned more than they are likely to pick up in a domestic season.

Rodgers takes a keen note of what is happening below the first team and recently made a point of praising the side that lost 3-2 to Manchester City after going into a 2-0 lead.

Taking that praise forward into providing first team places is a different matter but the Celtic boss hasn’t been afraid of making big decisions so far in his tenure.

Kieran Tierney has demonstrated the standards required for young players stepping up, whoever gets their chance tomorrow will be more than capable of following in KT’s footsteps.
