Celtic’s season has been one of their most turbulent in recent memory and has left the defending champions clinging to their Scottish Premiership crown.
Currently trailing league leaders Hearts by five points, a campaign of tumult in the dugout saw Brendan Rodgers walk out on the club in October, before Wilfried Nancy was sacked in January after an ill-fated 33-day spell in charge. In between, veteran manager Martin O’Neill has taken the reins on an interim basis and will remain in the post until the end of the season.
The 74-year-old is almost certain to step aside in the summer, though, with the Celtic board tasked with finding a new head coach who will lead them into a new era. Alongside appointing a new manager, the club are expected to perform an overhaul on their playing squad as they aim to return to their dominant best in the seasons ahead.
With movement anticipated in the summer transfer window, The Scotsman take a look at the 17 players who could leave Celtic at the end of the season:
9. Odin Thiago Holm
Celtic fans would be forgiven if they had forgotten he played for the club. Has had zero impact since his £1.8million arrival over two years ago. Returned from a loan spell at LAFC in January, and has been nowhere near the first team for over 18 months. Almost certain to be moved in the summer, if possible. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
10. Tomas Cvancara
The imposing Czech striker was brought in on loan from Borussia Monchengladbach in January, and has shown promising signs in his sporadic performances so far. However, having scored just once in six league appearances, the club are unlikely to pull the trigger on a permanent move just yet. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
11. Adam Montgomery
Loaned to Livingston in the summer, the young left-back got some valuable senior experience before he was forced to return to Celtic due to a calf injury. Unlikely to force his way into the first team plans at Parkhead, the 23-year-old needs a move where he can play regular football if he is to flourish - and it feels unlikely the club will stand in his way. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
12. Yang Hyun-Jun
The South Korean looked all set to depart Celtic last September, with Birmingham City pushing hard to conclude a deal on deadline day. Alas, a move did not materialise, and he's since played a fairly prominent role in Martin O'Neill's squad. There could be renewed interest in his services, though, when the summer transfer window rolls around. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
