Forgive me if I missed those articles, but I've not seen anything to suggest that.

There are a number of articles, tellingly a number of them in Italian, but take your pick of the clubs allegedly looking at him.

Vata doesn’t make the squad for the old firm

**tetsujin1979** · 02/01/2023, 2:58 PM

Give it a rest CSAD, you were asked for evidence, now produce it.

**dahamsta** · 02/01/2023, 10:37 PM

CSAD posts binned.

You have 8 infractions on Foot.ie. There won't be a 9th.

**CSAD** · 02/01/2023, 11:47 PM

Why were they binned?

**dahamsta** · 04/01/2023, 2:48 PM

You know why they were binned. I can skip waiting for the next rule-break if you wish, I'm totally ok with that, are you ready to go now? It seems inevitable really. Or you could just start treating people with respect and stop being rude and ignorant, because it makes you feel big and strong?

Makes the bench for Celtics game away to Ross County.

Got couple mins at end too

**JR89** · 16/04/2023, 1:58 PM

Actually came on in the 68th minute today in the 4-1 win. Celtic were 4-0 up after the 28th minute.

Away from home. It's becoming even more a non competition. Just look what you can do with Celtic or Rangers with a good manager and even a half decent team.

Celtic posted this slideshow of Vata's progress through Celtic's Academy setup

Rocco came on as a sub against Motherwell on Saturday and was very good according to the BBC Scotland radio commentary I listened to. He put in a great cross from the right that Oh should have scored from. The commentary team called him "highly impressive" and said he had a great knack of just shifting the ball into a half metre of space and whipping in a good ball, rather than relying on getting past his opponent to make space before sending in a cross. This is what he did away at Kilmarnock last week too. Very encouraging stuff from a kid this age.

Wait, wait, wait.... I thought Celtic don't play young players and destroy every prospect that goes there.

One swallow does not make a summer. He's played 40 minutes total for Celtic in the SPL.

No, Nigel but if hes good enough he'll kick on. You have to make the most of the chances given to you and it seems hes doing that. I've always made the point that you have to exceptional to make the breakthrough there and I dont see a long list of players who failed there and went on to be excellent somewhere else at a high level.

It is the place where Irish talent goes to die. #justiceforluca

He qualifies for 4 other nations and his dad was a club legend. We'll see how it all lands.

well aware...Grealish's dad used to say similar stuff if i recall correctly. I'm not saying he wont tog out for us but I think we've learned enough not to entirely pin our hopes on comments from the parents - jesus, we can't even rely on 3 senior caps before we can stop panicking LOL.

We cant fear a Rice/ Grealish situation with everyone. I think we learned as an association after those and communication is much better with the players these days. I still blame O'Neills lack of communication for the other 2
