Young guys like him (in my opinion) are mad to sign for clubs like Celtic where he'll get about 180 minutes per season.
Keep developing at another club instead of taking the money and playing reserve team football.

Very true, particularly when there are no reserve leagues anymore.Although the big increase in wages will be the attraction. He will probably end out on loan next season as well.
That's where I hold out a little glimmer of hope for Christie signing for us permanently. He has been playing every week bar Saturday of course and has been capped for Scotland. Something that would never happened at Celtic. He will probably end up in the Championship unfortunately although his game isn't necessarily best suited for such a physical league.
Loans MUST be banned.
I have to agree with this. The game is a bogey up here anyway but as long as the club with the biggest resources in the country can cherry pick any potential talent with no intention of actually using them just so it handicaps their opposition then it is well and truly beyond reparation.
If not banned, at least the number of players a club can loan out must be severely restricted. Chelsea have about 50 players out on loan which is facking ridiculous.
It's just capitalism delivering it's inevitable consequence.
One club (company) owning or in charge of everything.
If we continue to allow loans, in any form, then there is nothing to stop Celtic signing every promising youngster in Scotland.
