Celtic Ends Transfer Window with £17m Duo Signing
Celtic has completed the transfer window with a £17m duo signing, including Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh. The Colombian striker signed a five-year deal from Qarabag for around £6m, while the Danish forward broke the club's transfer record with a £11m move from Bodo/Glimt.
What happened?
Celtic has signed the fewest players in the Scottish Premiership so far this summer, but Martin O'Neill has championed 'quality over quantity.' The club has been linked with several players, including Real Oviedo's Haissem Hassan and Frosinone's Fares Ghedjemis.
Why it matters for Celtic
The signings of Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh will boost Celtic's attacking options, and the duo scored a combined 10 goals in the Champions League last season. However, fans will not be satisfied with these two signings to end the window, especially if they are to lose key players.
What comes next?
Celtic will now focus on preparing for their Champions League qualifying match-up with LASK. The club is currently 3 points behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian in the title race and has a 5-game winning run in the league.
Recent form
Celtic has been in excellent form, with 5 wins and no losses in their last 5 games. The team has scored 59 goals and conceded 35, with a +24 goal difference.
League standing
Celtic is currently 3rd in the Premiership, with 67 points from 33 games. They have a recent form of WWWWW and are on a 5-game winning run.
World Cup star stays put
Alistair Johnston has been attracting considerable interest following his impressive performances for Canada at the World Cup. However, the right-back has confirmed that he will stay at Celtic, despite interest from Everton.
Current situation
Celtic is currently 3 points behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian in the title race and has a 5-game winning run in the league. The team is also preparing for their Champions League qualifying match-up with LASK.
