Development Squad
Celtic Development Squad are the Development Squad of Celtic. The team mainly consists of Under-20 players at the club and fringe first team players. Some of the first team also play when they are recovering from injury.
They were members of the Scottish Premier Reserve League from its foundation in the 1998–99 season until the league ceased after the 2008–09 season. The side won the Reserve League eight times in the eleven seasons the league operated. They played their home games at Excelsior Stadium, normally the home of Airdrie United.

Under-20s Team
The Celtic Under-20s Team competes in the SPFL U20 League.
The Under-20s play their home matches at Celtic's training ground, Lennoxtown.
The Under-20s head coach is Tommy McIntyre and his assistant is Davie McGovern. The Under-20s had been previously coached by Stephen Frail.
The side have won the Scottish Premier Youth League four times, first in 2003–04 and then in 2004–05, 2005–06 and 2009–10. Celtic also won the revived Glasgow Cup in August 2008, beating rivals Rangers 3–1 in the final with goals from James Keatings, Richie Towell and James Forrest, which cancelled out the Rangers opener through Kyle Hutton.
Celtic's U20s were the first Scottish participants in the NextGen Series - a youth tournament based on the UEFA Champions League. In the 2011–12 season, Celtic were drawn against Barcelona, Manchester City and Marseille, and finished third in their group.[1] Celtic confirmed in January 2012 that they would play in the 2012–13 edition tournament as well.[2]
In 2013-14 Celtic's senior team qualified for the Champions League group stages, meaning that the youth squad would play in the first edition of the UEFA Youth League. In the following season there was no chance to participate in that competition due to the first team's failure to qualify, but in 2015-16 an additional route into the tournament opened up to domestic youth (Under-17) champions, and Celtic qualified as the Scottish holders of that title. In 2016-17 the senior team succeeded in reaching the Champions League group stage, so the youth squad also entered that season's Youth League via that route.
Celtic also successfully applied to compete applied to compete in the 2014–15 and 2015–16 versions of the England-based Premier League International Cup,and also signed up for the 2016–17 competition.
