The Celtic B-team has been competing in the Lowland League. However, the club is now contemplating whether this is the optimal path for their young players’ growth and development.

The Rangers announced their decision to withdraw their B-team from the Lowland League next season. This decision has sparked a wave of discussions across the Scottish Lowland League football community.

Celtic and The Rangers have had their B-teams compete in the division for the past two seasons.

Hearts joined the Lowland League last season and are understood to be continuing their participation in the upcoming campaign. This commitment to the league contrasts with the uncertainty surrounding Celtic’s involvement.

Celtic had initially hoped for the approval of the Conference League proposal, which would have seen Premiership B teams, as well as Highland and Lowland League clubs, involved. However, the proposal did not pass, leading the Parkhead club to reassess their strategy for their academy’s future.
