The Scottish Premiership transfer window re-opened this week, and with it comes a flood of new rumours across the division - with champions Celtic no exception to the rule.
Outlandish rumours of a potential return for ex-striker Odsonne Édouard have been mooted, while the ongoing interest in Motherwell wonderkid Lennon Miller is still taking the headlines.
Cameron Carter-Vickers has been linked with a £20million move to Sunderland, though a report claims Celtic are ‘calm and confident’ they can hold onto him this summer. Nicolas Kuhn is another linked with a potential departure, though he is reportedly happy at Celtic Park and won’t push for a move, though Greg Taylor’s time in Glasgow looks set to come to end with his contract set to expire in the coming weeks.
With so many rumours floating around, Celtic’s squad could have a fresh look when the season gets underway on August 2.
Here, The Scotsman take a look at what Celtic’s dream starting XI could look if the latest rumours are true - though, that can never be guaranteed, as we know!

The Celtic fan favourite has completed his return to the club, penning a long-term contract following his release from Arsenal. Tierney will hope to leave his injury problems behind him, and make his mark at Celtic - for the second time around. | Celtic FC Photo: Celtic FC
6. CM: Callum McGregor

7. CM: Reo Hatate
Had interest from Leicester City last year, but the Japanese international remained at Celtic and played a pivotal role in the club's domestic double success. Valued at around £10million, Hatate is a key player for Brendan Rodgers, and he'll hope to resist any offers that come in for the midfielder this summer as the club go in search of a record 56th Scottish league title | Andrew Milligan Photo: Andrew Milligan
8. CM: Arne Engels
The club's record buy provided 23-goal contributions in his debut season at Celtic Park, and will feel he has done enough to warrant a spot in the starting XI next season, despite strong competition from Paulo Bernardo and Luke McCowan. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
