Scottish Premiership Scouting Report: Loaned Out Future Stars From Celtic, Hibernian, Aberdeen & St. Mirren

Scottish football has had its critics in recent weeks.

It’s been discussed that arguably its three biggest clubs, Rangers, Celtic and Aberdeen, have given 0% of their minutes to Scottish players aged 21 and under.

Motherwell and Kilmarnock are the only sides in Scotlands top flight to have given over 5% of their minutes to native players under 21. 

If young Scottish players aren’t developing in their countrys top division, where do they go to find the necessary minutes to aid their path to the top of the game?

A tried and tested method for nurturing young players is the loan system.

This allows young players to learn what it means to be a first-team player, gain valuable game time at a good level, and show their parent club they’re ready to stake a claim for a spot in their first team. 

Scottish Premiership clubs have often nurtured their players through leagues such as the Scottish Championship, Scottish League One, and NIFL.

All three of these leagues have teams willing to give young players a chance.

In this scout report, we will discover four players on loan from Scottish Premiership clubs who are putting in eye-catching performances.

An assessment will be made of their potential to step into their side’s first team and their next steps after the conclusion of their loan deal. 

Tobi Oluwayemi Scouting Report At Dunfermline Athletic FC  On Loan From Celtic

Claiming the number one jersey at Celtic is no easy task.

Former England international and Premier League winner Joe Hart was the undisputed number one prior to the 2024/25 season.

Upon Hart’s retirement, Celtic replaced the Englishman with another Premier League winner, Kasper Schmeichel.

However, Celtic also have a promising goalkeeper impressing the Scottish Championship in their ranks. 

Tobi Oluwayemi, 20, had previously come through at Tottenham’s youth academy before Celtic acquired his services for their u18 side.

After a couple of loans with Austrian second division side Admira Wacker and League of Ireland’s Cork City, Oluwayemi is enjoying his first taste of senior football in Scotland.

Dunfermline Athletic FC have had a tricky start to the season.

Currently sitting second from bottom, the Fife club have failed to find consistency throughout the season.

Despite their poor run of form, Oluwayemi is putting in some impressive performances between the sticks. 

The England U20 international has kept four clean sheets in eight appearances, and his shot-stopping ability has been impressive.

He averages 2.69 shots per 90 minutes, with 61.8% of these shots being reflex saves. 

Here, Oluwayem is faced with a forward bearing down on goal.

He runs out and makes himself big, allowing him to tip the strikers effort around the post.
