Celtic are hoping to ramp up their summer transfer plans in the coming days as they aim to win a sixth successive Scottish Premiership title under manager Martin O’Neill.
After snatching the title from Hearts on the final day of last season, the Scottish champions are hoping to put one of their most turbulent years in recent memory behind them and get back to their dominant best with the new campaign on the horizon.
O’Neill, 74, has taken the reins at the club on a permanent basis after two temporary stints last season, and will be tasked with overseeing a squad rebuild that could see the Celtic main entrance become something of a revolving door during the summer transfer window. But which players could see their time at the club come to an end in the coming weeks?
With movement anticipated during the summer transfer window, The Scotsman take a look at the 10 players who could leave Celtic this summer.
5. Reo Hatate
A huge figure in Celtic's previous four title wins, scoring 33 goals for the club since his arrival in January 2022. However, the Japanese midfielder completely fell out of favour under Martin O'Neill at the tail end of last season, and has already discussed the potential of a move in a recent interview back in his homeland. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
6. Colby Donovan
The right-back broke into the Celtic first team last year, and performed well when called upon. Linked with a loan move to Dundee last season, he could head out on a temporary basis to continue his progression into senior football with first choice defender Alistair Johnston back in action. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
7. Maik Nawrocki
Found first-team opportunities limited under former head coach Brendan Rodgers, and moved to the German second tier on a season-long loan deal last summer. The Polish defender performed well at the Heinz von Heiden-Arena, and the club were thought to be keen on keeping him. Currently back with Celtic at pre-season, it remains to be seen what the future holds for the Poland Under-21 international. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
8. Daizen Maeda
Into the final year of his contract at Celtic, the talismanic striker has already spoken of his desire to move on in order to become "a better player". Linked with English Premier League duo Brentford and Everton, could Celtic fans have seen the last of the Japanese international in a green and white hooped jersey? | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
