Celtic’s Transfer History From 2016 to Present

Add as preferred source on Google

The start of the 2016/17 season marked a new era in the modern history of Celtic Football Club.

Brendan Rodgers was confirmed as the club’s new manager in the summer and it was viewed as a huge upgrade on previous boss Ronny Deila, despite the latter winning two Scottish Premiership titles in as many years.

However, Rodgers would be the man to elevate Celtic to historic heights as the club – even with Rangers back in the top-flight – went on to utterly dominate the Scottish domestic landscape.

Bar the 2020/21 campaign, Celtic have won every Premiership title since Rodgers’ first spell at the club and have also achieved four domestic Trebles in the same time period.

Rodgers returned for a second spell at the Hoops before being replaced by Martin O’Neill temporarily, and then Wilfried Nancy, who only lasted 33 days before O’Neill was asked to return.
