Where are Celtic at in the transfer window now?
It hasn’t been a smooth transfer window, but when is there ever a simple one for Celtic?
Two new faces have come through the door and already look like they could prove to be handy additions.
Tomas Cvancara told Celtic fans he can play much better despite a promising debut, and Julian Araujo has done well as a right-back.
Some youngsters have been shipped off permanently or recalled from their loans.

Celtic’s midfield is too one-dimensional right now and needs a brute enforcer in the middle of the park to do the dirty work and allow the creative options to flourish further forward.
