Every Celtic Transfer in Brendan Rodgers’ Second Stint Ranked: Two 10/10 Deals, but Six Flops
As the January transfer window approaches, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers will be keen to bolster his squad and maintain their lead at the top of the Premiership. With several signings made during his second stint at the club, we assess each transfer and rank them from one to ten.
Odin Thiago Holm – 3/10
Holm’s fleeting appearances have hinted at potential, but he has failed to establish himself as a regular starter.
Marco Tilio – 2/10
Tilio’s loan spell at Melbourne City has done little to alleviate concerns about his suitability for Celtic. His lack of impact has been disappointing.
Yang Hyun-jun – 4/10
The winger has shown flashes of brilliance, but his inconsistent form has limited his opportunities.
Kwon – 2/10
Kwon’s loan spell at Hibernian has not yielded the desired results, and his Celtic career appears to be stalled.
Maik Nawrocki – 3/10
Nawrocki’s £4m price tag has not been justified by his performances, which have been underwhelming.
Gustaf Lagerbielke – 1/10
Lagerbielke’s loan spell at FC Twente has been a consequence of his failure to impress at Celtic. His £3m transfer fee looks like a misinvestment.
Luis Palma – 5/10
Palma’s enigmatic performances have been a source of frustration. While he has contributed ten goals and ten assists, his overall play has been inconsistent.
Nat Phillips – 2/10
Phillips’ brief spell at Celtic was underwhelming, and his departure has not been mourned.
Paulo Bernardo (loan) – 7/10
Bernardo’s loan spell last season was a success, and his permanent transfer has been justified by his classy performances.
Nicolas Kuhn – 9/10
Kuhn’s adaptation to Celtic has been impressive, and his recent form has been outstanding. He is well on his way to becoming a fan favourite.
Adam Idah (loan) – 10/10
Idah’s loan spell was a resounding success, yielding crucial goals and a Scottish Cup winner’s medal.
Viljami Sinisalo – N/A
The young goalkeeper has yet to make a significant impact, but his potential is undeniable.
Kasper Schmeichel – 9/10
Schmeichel’s experience and quality have been invaluable to Celtic. He has been an excellent replacement for Joe Hart.
Paulo Bernardo (permanent) – 8/10
Bernardo’s permanent transfer has been justified by his consistent performances. He has been a shrewd signing.
Adam Idah (permanent) – 6/10
Idah’s permanent transfer has been followed by a slow start, but he is beginning to find his footing.
Alex Valle – 7/10
Valle’s raw talent is evident, and he has the potential to become a top-class left-back.
Auston Trusty – 8/10
Trusty’s partnership with Cameron Carter-Vickers has been a highlight of Celtic’s season. He has been a solid signing.
Arne Engels – 7/10
Engels’ £10m price tag has brought pressure, but he has shown flashes of brilliance. Time will tell if he justifies his transfer fee.
