Celtic’s summer transfer window saw both record buys and record sales as Brendan Rodgers looked to mould a side that could win a historic 55th league title.
With Matt O’Riley’s move to English Premier League side Brighton completed ahead of deadline day, the Hoops were able to splash the cash on Arne Engels, Adam Idah and Auston Trusty as they added to their already impressive squad. Currently 11 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership, and well-placed to qualify for the Champions League knockouts, there’s no denying it was a good window for Rodgers’ men.
It wasn’t just O’Riley that left for pastures new in the summer though, with fringe players Tomoki Iwata, Benjamin Siegrist and Bosun Lawal all making moves away from Glasgow, while a number of youngsters opted for loan moves in the 24/25 season.
But how have each of Celtic’s 17 departing players fared for their new clubs so far this season?
5. Oh Hyeon-gyu - Genk
After failing to nail down a starting spot in Brendan Rodgers' starting XI, the South Korean striker joined Belgian Pro League club Genk for an undisclosed fee. He's featured regularly for his new side, but has struggled to find the net in Belgium, where he has just three goals from his 16 league appearances. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
6. Dane Murray - Queen's Park (loan)
After finding his progress curtailed by injury, the Scotland under-21 international joined the second-tier Spiders on a season-long loan deal. The centre-back has been able to get the regular football he desired, and has started 16 games for the Championship side this season. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
7. Tomoki Iwata - Birmingham City
With Celtic signing Arne Engels and Luke McCowan on deadline day, Iwata was allowed to move to big-spending EFL League One club Birmingham City. The Japanese midfielder has performed superbly for the promotion chasing Blues, scoring five goals for his new side, where he is one of the first names on the team-sheet. | Getty Images Photo: Dan Istitene/Getty Images
8. Bosun Lawal - Stoke City
After impressing on-loan at Fleetwood Town last season, the Potters paid a reported £2million to sign the midfielder. Sadly for Lawal, injury curtailed his progress at Stoke and he was forced to wait until December to make his debut for the club, where he played the final 12 minutes of their 2-2 draw with Cardiff City. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
