None of our coaches have given any youngster a chance at club, with little or no financial support from owner academy and younger squad players should be used more. If Burke improves under Rodgers what does that say about Moore and Jones?
Other side of the coin - what does it say of the player in a very poor league ? . Pulis , Megson , Pardew and now Moore won't pick him which suggests there's an issue with the player somewhere.
Hope he does well and we get some money back on him but I can't see him making the grade in England in either top two tiers.

Did they play him out wide or through the middle?

Think he was played through the middle in a 4-2-3-1

Pleased for him. Maybe he will thrive under a manager who believes in him.

Playing in a team full of decent players versus a joke team.  Flat track bully just like Sinclair?

But i don't think he is any worse than HRK.  It just concerns me that we just keep extending veterans contracts without thinking about their contribution and marginalizing young talent coming through.

It's a joke league , I find it very hard to get too excited when Scott Sinclair is the star player up there and a 36 year old Defoe will get near 15 goals for Rangers.
Best of luck to Burke but while at least it's games under his belt it's only like going on loan to Sunderland or Peterborough in Div 1.

I hope he bangs loads of goals in for the hoops then we might be able to recoup the money we laid out for him.

He will score goals in that league, nothing against the Scottish league but they standard outside the top2/3 is very poor.

Like the above have been mentioned, Sinclair has regularly been hitting 20/30 goals a season up there.

I imagine he will score around 10 goals between now and the end of the season, he will either come back here like a new signing, or we will sell him to Celtic for around 10million I reckon.

There was talk about the extra training Burke was doing with Moore and Jones.

This comment was in the BBC report 'He is powerful and quick, but there is deftness to his movement. He offered a focal point in attack - and was capable of holding up the ball - but also moved into channels and created space for Sinclair and Forrest to break into from the flank'.

If that's true I don't think it will be all down to 2 weeks under Rodgers and more likely helped by the work with DM and particularly GJ.

Celtic quickly took command, controlling possession and establishing a foothold in the St Mirren half.

The visitors intended to be well-organised and disciplined, but Celtic's attackers were in no mood to be stifled. Burke led by example.

He is powerful and quick, but there is deftness to his movement. He offered a focal point in attack - and was capable of holding up the ball - but also moved into channels and created space for Sinclair and Forrest to break into from the flanks.

The opening goal demanded striker's instincts, and he moved into the right position inside the penalty area to meet Christie's free-kick and head the ball past Vaclav Hladky, who should have done better than meekly palm the ball into the net.

As Burke led the line, Sinclair became emboldened. One run carried him in from the left and his quick feet befuddled Stephen McGinn, who brought him down. Sinclair converted the penalty and soon after had another effort pushed away by the St Mirren goalkeeper.

Burke was the focal point, though, and one spin on the edge of the area brought the time and space to create an opening for Callum McGregor, who blasted over.

Celtic substitute Timothy Weah scored his second goal in two games for the club

St Mirren tried to be composed on the ball, and there were elements of their play that will have pleased manager Oran Kearney, but they could not contain Celtic.

After the break, Burke added his second when the ball fell to him in the penalty area after McGregor's shot was blocked. Burke finished with composure and power.

Massive change in comments compared to the ones coming from the celtic fans last week calling him a 'pub league' player.

I think it'll be a win win for the club in all honesty, if he performs well he will come back a different player and he can kick on with his WBA career, or he will push to stay at Celtic and we will get most our money back on him.

I can't see anyway Celtic will pay £10m for Burke no matter how well he does. That would be their record signing and they only paid more than £6m for a player once in nearly 20 years.

Celtic record signings:

Odsonne Édouard   Â£9,000,000   15 June 2018
Chris Sutton      Â£6,000,000   11 July 2000   
John Hartson           £6,000,000        2 August 2001   
Israel Eyal Berkovic   Â£5,750,000   8 July 1999   [
Neil Lennon      Â£5,750,000        December 2000   
Rafael Scheidt           £4,800,000   1 January 2000   
Olivier Ntcham           £4,500,000   12 July 2017

If he does well, the best we can hope for from Celtic in my opinion will be around £5m with a decent resale percentage. Celtic in general just don't spend that kind of money.

Agree that this is a win/win but the general quality in the league is highlighted by the other player mentioned

This is an 18 year old, with great heritage yes, but making his first starts in pro football?   

Burke has definitely got some real qualities to build on as he is quick and powerful. However, it turns out the move to Germany was the worst thing that could have happened as it stopped any natural progression he would have made as a teenager playing week in-week out at Forest at the right level.   I would even have suggested a loan into League 1 so he can get back to basics and play every week before Celtic were kind enough to take him although i would guess that the defensive qualities in those two leagues are about the same.   

If he does well in the rest of the year, maybe we can send him back for another year a la Harver Barnes and see where that takes him in his development?

Lets be frank - the quality of that division is very poor - minus the top three or four.

Burke should be scoring goals in that division - or at least having an impact.

The fact we have had at least four managers fail to use him suggests there are fundamental issues and that is not the fault of Moore or Jones.

The most positive outcome for me would be that he tears up that tinpot league, and returns to us the player a lot of us thought he could be. As has been said, Celtic would then probably be priced out so he would either stay with us or go to someone who could afford him.
No good to us if his loan goes tits up.

Sounds promising and as said before if he plays well we really can’t lose. Let’s face it, a young powerful and fast striker is the dream for any football fan. However we must remember the league he is playing in. Let’s see how he goes.

Comment on Moore is ridiculous. He’s given youth players more time on the pitch than previous managers.

I don’t get this negativity towards Moore with Burke and other younger players. Do people genuinely believe he would choose to not play them if he truely believed they were better just because they were young? That just seems daft to me. There must be a reason they aren’t getting the game time some fans feel they deserve and it can’t be a case of  favouritism all the time.
