Apparently about to sign some Celtic youngster, 16 year old wide attacker Ben Doak, already made his debut in January and will be minimal compensation fee for his training due to not yet old enough to sign pro terms.

I think Ed02 said we can’t sign him until he is 18.

Ed01, quick one, the player is 16, not signed a professional contract yet, is he not allowed to sign on for us youth terms or must he wait till 18? Assuming of that is the case his only options is to remain in Scotland with Celtic / another team, or move abroad to another league.

{Ed001's Note - it depends on circumstances but on a basic can we just sign him on a normal transfer from Celtic, no. However, if say for example, one of his parents got a job in the area and the family were moving, then we could. So it is not a simple yes or no.}

Makes sense Ed, thanks for the info.

{Ed001's Note - welcome.}

Is it normal Ed001 for clubs to give the parents employment to help a transfer?

{Ed001's Note - used to be, Barca did so with Messi, even though it is not supposed to happen any more, but there was a lot of cheating around him that is not supposed to be allowed so what does one more thing matter?}

I think with some of the issues around other owners, sorting out local employment for a couple of Scots would be pretty irrelevant!
