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?
