- Did Celtic Get It Right? | Summer 2026 Recruitment Breakdown
Celtic’s summer transfer window is officially over — so how should we assess the club’s business after 10 new arrivals, major departures and another Champions League qualification failure?
Paul and Stuart review the entire Celtic transfer window, focusing on the striking difference between the first four signings of the summer and the six players brought in during the final 24 hours of European registration.The early arrivals appeared to signal a more targeted recruitment strategy: younger players, strong first-team experience, Champions League pedigree and significant resale potential. But after Celtic’s exit against LASK, the profile changed dramatically as loan deals, inexperienced prospects and short-term solutions arrived late in the window.We discuss whether that represents sensible adaptation or another example of Celtic being underprepared when it mattered most.There’s also a detailed look at the finances. Celtic spent approximately £32.5m including potential add-ons, but major sales including Arne Engels, Daizen Maeda and others pushed outgoing transfer income towards £47m — leaving the club once again in a substantial transfer profit despite significant cash reserves.Was this the summer Celtic finally modernised their recruitment? Or did another promising start ultimately fall victim to the same problems around timing, structure and ambition?🍀 In this episode:• Reviewing all 10 Celtic summer signings• The major difference between the first four and final six arrivals• Camilo Duran’s huge early impact• Kasper Høgh and Celtic’s improved attacking options• Why the post-LASK recruitment looked completely different• Celtic’s midfield rebuild• Did Celtic properly replace Arne Engels and Daizen Maeda?• Approximately £32.5m spent versus £47m received• Why Celtic remain in transfer profit• Should Celtic have spent more before the Champions League qualifiers?• The failure to properly strengthen before facing LASK• Celtic’s long-running defensive midfield problem• Why Callum McGregor succession planning matters• Is Celtic’s recruitment structure still outdated?• Does the club need a sporting director?• Recruitment quality rated out of 10• Squad management rated out of 10• Timing and planning rated out of 10• Financial ambition rated out of 10• Our final Celtic transfer-window scoreLet us know your own rating for Celtic’s summer transfer window in the comments — and score the club on recruitment quality, squad management, timing and planning, and financial ambition.Subscribe to Celtic Fans TV for Celtic news, analysis, match reaction, transfer discussion and fan opinion throughout the season.#Celtic #CelticFC #CelticTransfers #CelticTransferNews #SPFL #EuropaLeagueCHAPTERS00:00 Celtic transfer window review00:32 Was this actually a better window?01:51 The first four signings vs the final six04:39 Why Celtic changed approach after LASK06:28 Spending, ambition & the bigger question08:25 Did Celtic improve the starting XI?09:10 Camilo Duran & Kasper Høgh10:36 The midfielder Celtic missed out on11:36 Celtic’s £32.5m spend vs £47m sales12:58 Should Celtic have spent more?14:01 Another underprepared Champions League campaign15:24 Celtic’s defensive midfield problem17:47 Did the £20–25m spending plan really exist?18:32 What actually is Celtic’s recruitment model?20:18 Why Celtic need a sporting director21:23 Rating recruitment quality22:04 Rating squad management22:40 Rating timing & financial ambition24:04 “It’s Groundhog Day”25:27 Were the final six signings really planned?27:03 Overall transfer-window rating28:18 The squad-depth problem29:12 Final thoughtsLearn more about your ad choices.

9 min - Celtic v Aberdeen | Panic Stations in the Final Days? | Starting XI Prediction
Celtic face Aberdeen at Celtic Park as they look to maintain their 100% start to the Scottish Premiership season — but much of the attention is on a frantic final 24 hours of transfer business.
We discuss Celtic’s late transfer activity following the arrival of Oliver Sørensen, with Joel van den Berg expected to follow and deals involving Gvidas Gineitis, Sam Johnstone and Chelsea striker Shim Mheuka also discussed.
Is this targeted recruitment Celtic desperately needs, or another example of panic stations at the end of the transfer window?
Attention then turns to Aberdeen as we predict Martin O’Neill’s Celtic starting XI, with injuries forcing Liam Scales to left-back, Callum McGregor expected to return and Camilo Durán set to lead the line.

20 min - ERMIN MAHMIĆ TO CELTIC?!: HAS RECRUITMENT FINALLY CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?
Celtic could be closing in on another major summer signing, with 21-year-old Bosnia midfielder *Ermin Mahmić* linked with an €8m move from Slovan Liberec.
We look at what Mahmić could bring to Celtic, why his profile fits the club’s changing recruitment strategy and whether he could ultimately be viewed as a long-term successor to Benjamin Nygren.After starring for Bosnia at the World Cup and scoring eight goals at club level last season, Mahmić looks to fit the pattern of Celtic targeting younger, first-team ready players with significant potential and resale value.We also reflect on Celtic’s superb *3-0 Champions League win over LASK*, the performances of Camilo Duran, Benjamin Nygren and Mika Baur, and why qualification for the Champions League could provide the ultimate validation of this summer’s recruitment.Has there been a genuine change in Celtic’s transfer strategy?From Kasper Høgh and Camilo Duran to Mika Baur and Hassan, Celtic are now spending bigger fees on players expected to immediately improve the starting XI rather than continually gambling on cheaper development projects.There is still work to be done before the window closes — particularly at goalkeeper and across the defence — but are we finally seeing a more ambitious Celtic in the transfer market?🍀 *In this video:*• Ermin Mahmić to Celtic latest• What Mahmić could bring to Celtic• Celtic’s changing transfer strategy• Reaction to Celtic 3-0 LASK• Camilo Duran & Benjamin Nygren shine• Why Mika Baur has impressed• The positions Celtic still need to strengthen• First-team ready signings vs development projects• Celtic’s player trading model• Why Champions League qualification mattersLet us know your thoughts below — would Ermin Mahmić be another statement signing, and are you happy with Celtic’s recruitment so far this summer?**CHAPTERS**00:00 Is Ermin Mahmić closing in on Celtic move?01:40 What could Mahmić bring to Celtic?04:46 Reflecting on Celtic 3-0 LASK08:16 Why Champions League qualification is huge10:31 Has Celtic’s recruitment strategy changed?14:48 How much more business do Celtic need?17:44 The new Celtic player-trading model20:27 Does Champions League qualification validate the recruitment?👍 LIKE the video💬 COMMENT with your thoughts on Celtic’s transfer business🍀 SUBSCRIBE for Celtic transfer news, Champions League coverage and match reaction throughout the season.#Celtic #CelticFC #CelticTransferNews #ErminMahmić #ChampionsLeague #CelticFansTVLearn more about your ad choices.
