Celtic were cutting it close as transfer deadline day approached, leaving fans anxious about the outcome of the January window. The departure of Kyogo Furuhashi and the delayed return of Kieran Tierney added to the team’s concerns, despite Jota’s return to Parkhead.
These setbacks have weakened Celtic’s squad as they continue to compete for the Treble and prepare for big matches against Bayern Munich. With no new signings in sight as the deadline approached, frustration grew among supporters.
However, the tide has now turned, with news emerging that Crystal Palace’s Jeffrey Schlupp is set to join the team. The decision to bring in someone familiar to Brendan Rodgers shows the club’s focus on short-term solutions. Alan Hutton, who faced Schlupp during his time at Aston Villa, praised the player’s experience and versatility.
Schlupp, known for his contribution to Leicester City’s Premier League win in 2016, can play multiple positions, making him a valuable addition to the squad. His imminent arrival has sparked excitement among fans and experts alike, as Celtic look to strengthen their team for upcoming challenges.
