Unless they truly do want him to be a starter, it feels like Celtic might just be testing the waters in Jan.

Probably wrong but the only place I could see him going is Belgium , but even then the wages might be an issue. A Loan might be doable I guess. But remember Celtic already mucked him about when Mechelen wanted him back for this season. To our benefit.

Celtic have one CB injured long term and let two youngsters for the same position leave because they could not get in ahead of Scales and Trusty. Which speaks volumes about Celtic's recruitment under Rodgers. No inside info, just a feeling, but I think they have recalled him to be a starter.....at least until Carter Vickers returns. And as others have said, why should Welsh take a wage cut to facilitate a permanent transfer to the likes of Aberdeen or us?

Although sad to see him return Lots of positives re Welsh .

We’ve benefited from having someone better than we’d normally afford and he improved our teams results . 
 

He’s also improved his personal stock and suspect a serious contender to get game time at park head .

if a bigger club was to give another loanee of similar quality for rest of the season that would be fine by me

O'Neill saying there's a chance Welsh could be sent back to us if he can get players in and they have no further injuries. Sounded apologetic to Welsh, said he was enjoying himself 'immensely' here, complemented the football Motherwell have been playing, but said it's needs must. No suggestion they're punting him to anyone.

Great as that would be, it puts JBA in a tricky situation, as there seems to be a will, but no guarantee.

Fair enough from O'Neill.  Welsh is their player and I can imagine he wont actually be happy going back.  Been immense but attitude top class and really taken club to heart.  Sane also with Balmer,  always smiling and always got involved with celebrations,  wish both every success but if we could get Welsh back it would be awesome

If Welsh plays minutes for Celtic does that mean the only other team he can play for this season on loan is Motherwell ?

Yes, that is correct, only two teams in a season. I think that O'Neill's comments were quite classy, but we can't be expected to wait a couple of weeks to see if Welsh can come back.

From O'Neill's comments it sounded like he didn't really know the current rules and was instructed from above to do "just in case".

100% agree we shouldn't wait around though, and be moving forward on the basis he isn't coming back.

Oneills comments sounded as though he wasn't aware of Welsh's views until after it went through and now he's back he can see that the lad is gutted
