Things are starting to get interesting on the transfer front for Celtic.
As you can imagine, for large portions of the summer, Celtic fans have been wary of what type of business the club will conclude, especially after the mess of 2025.
But in recent days, there has been the suggestion that the champions of Scotland could pull off a few interesting and statement-like signings for Martin O’Neill, including Bodø/Glimt striker Kasper Høgh.
So, how could Celtic line up next season if the likes of Høgh and Haissem Hassan are snapped up?
Will you be attending matches at Celtic Park for the 2026/27 season? 🤔🍀
If not, tell us why, Celtic fans…👇
New look attack would excite Celtic fans
Camilo Duran has already featured in pre-season, scoring in his opening two matches and making his mark as early as possible.
Luckily for the Hoops, Duran can play across the front three, so if Høgh signs for Celtic, it will provide O’Neill the opportunity to play two up top or the Colombian star out wide.
Either way, with Daizen Maeda set to leave and Kelechi Iheanacho and several loan players from last season not returning, it gives fans a chance to see a new-look, vibrant attack take to the field.
Added to that, Callum McGregor could be provided with the help he has been craving in the middle of the park, with the surprise reports that Celtic want to sign Mika Baur from newly-promoted Bundesliga side SC Paderborn 07.
If Arne Engels stays, then he starts, but given the money being suggested for his services, you expect him to leave, and then Benjamin Nygren could fit into the ten role.
The backline remains the same, including Cameron-Carter-Vickers returning from his long-term injury.
However, if Alistair Johnston leaves after a stellar World Cup, it will be interesting to see who the club targets. Could Julian Araujo return to Glasgow?
Either way, the backline remains the same, but there is a new man in between the sticks.
That’s because O’Neill has stated in pre-season that he wants to sign ‘a new goalkeeper.’
The keeper who has been strongly linked with Celtic has been Las Palmas star Dinko Horkaš, with suggestions that the Scottish champions are leading the race for his signature.
If these signings are pulled off, it will please a lot of supporters, but also bolster the bench.
There could be the possibility that Viljami Sinisalo, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Colby Donovan, Hyunjun Yang and Callum Osmand are sitting on the bench, plus any more new faces if the likes of Reo Hatate make their expected exits.
