Celtic experienced one of their more turbulent transfer windows in the summer, with former head Brendan Rodgers frustrated in his attempt to add numbers to his squad, culminating in a disastrous deadline day search for a striker.
A summer of change saw Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Idah become the two big-money departures from Parkhead, as they left Celtic to join Como and Swansea City, respectively. However, Celtic’s perceived failure to address holes in their squad seemingly led to a breakdown between Rodgers and the board, culminating in the former’s resignation following a 3-1 defeat to Hearts in October and the appointment of Wilfried Nancy in December.
Long-serving players Greg Taylor and Scott Bain also waved goodbye to the Scottish champions upon the expiry of their contracts in the summer, while several of the club’s youngsters went out to gain valuable experience on loan.
