Beattie has to move up to the 21s he must be too good for the 18s.

What do our regular watchers make of Beattie?

 

[Greystones Blade]

Thankfully he’s contracted to us until 2026

Below is what the Scottish Sun said about our signing him…

Son of ex-Celtic star joins another of his dad's old clubs after leaving Hoops

JEVAN BEATTIE, son of ex-Celtic striker Craig, has signed his first professional contract at Sheffield United – another of his dad’s former clubs. The 18-year-old was also on the books …

You’d have thought so but whilst Marsh and One are here he’ll be behind them in terms of the 21’s pecking order he’s probably competing with Havenhand (fingers crossed he returns well from a long injury lay off) to be 3rd choice for the 21’s.

It’s going to be a consequence of us having to do so much first team business this summer that we didn’t have time to address first team squad depth. Some players who should’ve probably gone out on loan have stayed in house to offer first team depth so players who would otherwise be getting 21’s exposure are staying in the 18’s.

There's always the non league loan

There's always the non league loan

Wouldn’t surprise me if some of the 18’s or younger 21’s head out for a short time if they’re deemed ready but the lads like Marsh who have been kept in house as depth for the first team are beyond that they should be playing league football.

He missed a lot of last season with injury so perhaps we’re not pushing him too quickly. I did see him (via the stream) as a sub for the U21s at Sunderland.
