Celtic’s top six January transfer deals

As Kouassi Eboue waits for the work permit that will allow him to kick start his Celtic career it’s worth noting that in terms of January transfers the hoops have completed some impressive business during the winter months.

Of the current team Stuart Armstrong and Leigh Griffiths arrived in recent seasons to make significant impacts from the get go.

Just like this season the title was virtually assured by the time that Armstrong and Griffiths got involved but both players quickly settled in and came up with the goods.

January windows can often be remembered for the deals that weren’t completed but most of Celtic’s recent winter deals have produced the desired effect.

This article only covers permanent signings but in terms of January deals the 2010 transfer of Robbie Keane was probably the most contrasting, the player did well enough to swoop most of the Player of the Year awards but the manager at the time was on gardening leave by the time Robbie waved farewell.

With a half full glass pointing towards another year of progress hopefully Eboue and others will feature in future January success stories.
