There is something to cheer about for Celtic fans in the summer transfer market.
Yes, Celtic have added to their squad during the 2025 summer transfer market, but perhaps not to the extent that supporters and manager Brendan Rodgers have wanted.
But on Tuesday, Celtic signed Jahmai Simpson-Pusey on a season-long loan deal from Manchester City.
The 19-year-old arrives after making a breakthrough into Pep Guardiola’s first team last season, but also being named Premier League 2 Player of the Year for his outstanding performances for the English club.

How Manchester City supporters reacted to Jahmai Simpson-Pusey joining Celtic
This is a big move for Simpson-Pusey, and a big coup from the champions of Scotland because they have lured a top English talent to their ranks.
The majority of Manchester City supporters on social media were happy to see their player get such a move and are backing him to do well.
There is a lot of competition at the Etihad, so this is going to be a very valuable loan for Simpson-Pusey, and hopefully, it will result in him picking up several trophies.
@EchemessiEra thinks Simpson-Pusey is going to come back a better player: ‘All the best to him! He’ll surely come back better, and I’ll be looking forward to it.’
@burnagedaydream defended how the youngster performed for Man City: ‘Thought he actually looked alright, just had the bad luck to get game time when the entire team was playing like clowns.’
