Go on.

OTB Football
'GET OUT OF CELTIC... ' | Kenny's future | Which Irish players should make January moves? | Is Scottish football good for Irish development? | OUTSIDE THE BOX

Yeah.

OTB Football
'GET OUT OF CELTIC... ' | Kenny's future | Which Irish players should make January moves? | Is Scottish football good for Irish development? | OUTSIDE THE BOX

One way or another, that happened.

'GET OUT OF CELTIC... ' | Kenny's future | Which Irish players should make January moves? | Is Scottish football good for Irish development? | OUTSIDE THE BOX

He is behind Kevin O'Toole.

OTB Football
'GET OUT OF CELTIC... ' | Kenny's future | Which Irish players should make January moves? | Is Scottish football good for Irish development? | OUTSIDE THE BOX

So basically, Kevin O'Toole was going to be called up before Will Ferry, but his international clearance hadn't come in yet.

OTB Football
'GET OUT OF CELTIC... ' | Kenny's future | Which Irish players should make January moves? | Is Scottish football good for Irish development? | OUTSIDE THE BOX

So he is already behind Kevin O'Toole in the MLS.

Josh O'Neill, who at the time was playing for Shamrock Rowers.

'GET OUT OF CELTIC... ' | Kenny's future | Which Irish players should make January moves? | Is Scottish football good for Irish development? | OUTSIDE THE BOX

Like, I think you are not going to get lucky if you're at Dundee.

OTB Football
'GET OUT OF CELTIC... ' | Kenny's future | Which Irish players should make January moves? | Is Scottish football good for Irish development? | OUTSIDE THE BOX

I think outside of those three clubs I really and even sometimes including them I think the standard is so much worse than we have an idea of and I think it's a lot a lot of it is down to do with the fact that it's on Sky every week I really think the standard is the standard honesty of Scottish football is like League 1 standard there's a reason why Neil Faruja can't get a game in League 1 and he's going up to potentially be Wilfair's replacement at Dundee United the standard is not good Neil Faruja has never had a really good kind of

'GET OUT OF CELTIC... ' | Kenny's future | Which Irish players should make January moves? | Is Scottish football good for Irish development? | OUTSIDE THE BOX

my whole thing on Scottish League right I completely agree with your thing on development and it's something that we've seen say the likes of Cillian Phillips has gone out of England playing that two games a week he's gone up there playing one game a week and we've seen and he said it himself when he was on off the ball a couple of weeks ago with us how much it's helped his development I think we're fair he's done his development and now it's time to kick on and if he is going to make Ireland squads he needs to get out of Scotland I don't think so

OTB Football
'GET OUT OF CELTIC... ' | Kenny's future | Which Irish players should make January moves? | Is Scottish football good for Irish development? | OUTSIDE THE BOX

Just a final point that Johnny came to before we move on like you made the argument of is he better off staying in the Celtic squad to get an Ireland squad I think at this stage of Johnny Kenny's career he just needs to get out of Celtic and he needs to play games and don't worry about that Ireland squad at the moment if you get out and you play games and you score some goals that will come in time

OTB Football
'GET OUT OF CELTIC... ' | Kenny's future | Which Irish players should make January moves? | Is Scottish football good for Irish development? | OUTSIDE THE BOX

very hard though that's fine but there's no point at his stage in his career if you really want to kick on as a footballer there's no point sitting on the bench playing a couple of minutes that's fine and that comes back to what Dave was saying about the Will Ferry thing and about kicking on your career and your developmental phase and all that sort of stuff

OTB Football
'GET OUT OF CELTIC... ' | Kenny's future | Which Irish players should make January moves? | Is Scottish football good for Irish development? | OUTSIDE THE BOX

yeah I've won left and it's a bit left field but it's fine it's nothing to do with the Irish senior team at the moment Glorian Zingo who has played many times for Ireland underage he's two under 21 caps he went from Pats to Stade Rheims in 2021 Stade Rheims in 2021 yeah my old French secondary school

OTB Football
'GET OUT OF CELTIC... ' | Kenny's future | Which Irish players should make January moves? | Is Scottish football good for Irish development? | OUTSIDE THE BOX

OTB Football
