So have we loaned this lad just to play in their development squad? Strange one.
Yep very Strange unless it's a character building exercise and see how he reacts

I'd have thought the Celtic comments were expected really, he has struggled with injury this season and he still needs to bulk/toughen up to make it with us. He also needs more consistency, YouTube highlights never ever show the full story. There's only 3 months of the run in left and he will have to adapt and improve even for the SPL, which makes a mockery of the people who think he should be playing in our 1st team right now.

They are treating him like a player they'll have for 18 months. He was only just recovering from injury when he went to them, so his fitness will be low after not playing for 3 months.
Then there's things Celtic can afford to do because of the length of the loan - like get him used to the squad before chucking him in and hoping for the best.

Lets show a bit of patience,take into consideration he is managed properly and professionally,and give it a few weeks before we send up a lynch mob.

Agree in sentiment but why have we bought a lad who was playing regularly at Championship level only to stick him in our EDS squad and them farm out to Celtic.
The Championship is at a higher level than the shite in Scotland.

People keep forgetting thatHe wasn't playing regularly at Championship level.
More due to club grievances by all accounts, made it clear early he wasn't going to stay.He wasn't playing regularly at Championship level.
