Looking like a big week coming up for players leaving,
From what I'm hearing around the traps, we have up to 8/9 players all now talking or finalising deals away with other clubs
Massive rebuild if all above come off
There's serious real interest in Chermiti
Not sure he will be here come the end of the window

The prospect of the possibilities available once more shipped out is exciting imo, trying to stay positive and hopeful. 🤘😁🤘🔴⚪️🔵

This is hopefully the domino effect needed to get other deals in place completed.
You can probably guess most of the guys leaving, but I wonder if Chermiti is 1 of them.
Personally I'd like him another season, but money talks, and if a good offer comes, he'll go.

I know we had three players going through medicals ahead of exits last week. Hopefully see some positive news early next week.
08 Aug 2026 08:35:11
Sounds positive, hopefully, in coming weeks. 🇬🇧
08 Aug 2026 08:57:05
Ehl, do you know who these players are? Not asking for names, just some assurance that they are top quality players.
08 Aug 2026 09:19:04
Cmac, yes, but to clarify, these are medicals for players leaving.
08 Aug 2026 10:18:02
The problem with Raskin, Chermiti and Big Manny possibly leaving, that would mean we need at least another 8 starters brought in, as I think we need 4-5 the now. If this happens, this is a transition season.
08 Aug 2026 10:23:23
Ehl, R these medical carried out and arranged by buying clubs?
08 Aug 2026 10:35:06
Must be surely, John. Buying clubs' responsibility and for verification also.
08 Aug 2026 11:02:50
This is definitely already a transition season where we need to strengthen key areas, there's no getting away from that. On the plus side, it would really need to be a transition season for Celtic, who were guff last year too, so stop panicking and have a little faith.
08 Aug 2026 11:07:39
Yes, Colonel, I can't see how any buyer would allow sellers to use their people to carry out medical, but EHL knows how it works.
I will be quizzing Jim Gillespie tomorrow.

I just hope when these players leave it triggers the other deals incoming.
It is a transition season, there is no 2 ways about it.
New manager, new captain etc etc.
But as things stand, have we improved on anything player-wise from last season?
It's obviously very early, more changes are coming, but I worry missing out on most of our main targets ends up with more loan deals and players not sought after by others.

Nsiala
Souttar
Barron
Cameron
McCausland
Gassama
Miovski
There's 7 off the top of my head.

Hopefully there are decent offers in for the flaky four, Fernandez, Diomande, Chermiti and Aasgaard, who once again showed on Thursday night that they are not what we need going forward. Too much show boating and too many unforced errors, and they just can't be relied on. We need centre halves that can defend and strikers that can score regularly.
08 Aug 2026 13:40:58
Assuming the lads doing medicals won't have been involved on Thursday.
