Aidan Nesbitt insists 18-year-old Kelly is at a huge career crossroad which can cut both ways.
Aidan Nesbitt went from next big thing at Celtic to lost Bhoy and has a cautionary tale that the grass isn’t always greener somewhere else.
He said: “Key decisions which are taken on the future of young players can definitely become crossroads and gambles which can have huge impacts on careers. I’m at the stage where I realise the potential I had as a young Celtic player and where I am now. I am happy where I am as a 27-year-old and feeling a part of something again. That was something I lost a bit when I left Celtic. There are so many factors which can make trying to reach your potential all the more difficult.
Nesbitt’s post-Celtic career has seen service at the likes of Morton, MK Dons and Partick Thistle before signing for the Bairns and playing a key role in their return to the Championship last season. And he admits cash can be king when an agent gets into the ear of a young footballer. “Where you are best placed to progress in the long term gives way to where you can make a quick buck 90 per cent of the time. If huge clubs from down south or abroad come calling then it can be difficult to resist that and I see the pros and cons. I know what agents will be saying to players but without being specific, players can get injured, a variety of different things can happen in a footballer’s career which can lead to a player looking back and saying they should have taken the money.
