Seven players on their way out the door at Celtic

After a bit of a lull the revolving door is getting busier as Brendan Rodgers puts his stamp on the squad.

Getting past Hapoel Beer Sheva to reach the group phase of the Champions League will give the club a massive boost and increase the rate of change as Brendan Rodgers squad is overhauled.

In next to no time the Irishman got rid of Carlton Cole, Colin Kazim Richards, Stefan Scepovic and Anthony Stokes while for whatever reason no new acceptable deal was put to Charlie Mulgrew.

Younger players Jamie Lindsay, Fiacre Kelleher, Paul McMullan, Joe Thomson and Michael Duffy are already out on loan with more likely to follow.

Bringing the first team squad down to 20 would be ideal while allowing younger players like Jack Aitchison and Aiden Nesbitt to get a taste of the demands of being with the elite squad.

Scott Allan’s loan move to Rotherham wasn’t a great surprise with other loan deals likely with clubs reluctant to pay transfer fees when they know that Celtic are keen to shift players on.

Despite the demands of the domestic and European campaigns there’s little doubt that Rodgers could lose six players without having any adverse impact on the squad.
