Taking players on loan from Manchester City was a feature of Celtic a decade ago when sections of the stadium would be closed, getting thrown a few projects to bolster a team that lacked purpose with little aspirations or ambitions to be competing in the Champions League.
Earlier this year Darren O’Dea was handed the title of Professional Pathway Manager with the Murray deal looking like his first placement as Celtic seek ways of developing players from the Academy into the first team squad.
With his contract expiring at the end of this season Celtic could take away some of the concerns by adding 12 months onto his current deal to eliminate that issue from his thoughts.
