As far as Celtic fans are concerned Florian Plettenberg has emerged as the star of the January transfer window.
Over the years the Sky Sports Germany reporter has built up a sound reputation for delivering transfer news with occasional content involving Celtic.
So far in 2026 he has bossed the transfer window.
Out of nowhere he pulled out the name of Tomas Cvancara as well on the way to Celtic. Earlier in the day the Borussia Monchengladbach forward had been linked with a move to Ibrox.
PLETTENBERG- THE CELTIC ITK
Everything that Plettenberg predicted fell into place. Cvancara has even produced the goods with a goal and an assist in less than two full appearances.
Concerningly Plettenberg was first to highlight Nottingham Forest’s interest in Arne Engels. Throughout Sunday that story gained momentum.

During Sunday afternoon speculation mounted that Junior Adamu was bound for Celtic.
Martin O’Neill came as close as is possible to admit that the striker was undergoing a medical when he spoke after the 2-0 win over Falkirk.
Based on his previous transfer tweets the news from Plettenberg at 10.46pm on Sunday as good as confirms the move.
Adamu hasn’t had much joy at Freiburg this season, his situation is similar to Cvancara.
A transfer from RB Salzburg to the Bundesliga never worked out, now a spell at Celtic is seen as the remedy.
Between Kelechi Iheanacho, Cvancara and Adamu it seems that O’Neill will have some attacking options to work with in the weeks ahead.
It looks like none of those strikers will be contracted beyond the end of this season.
Long or even medium term planning appears to have been abandoned by Celtic. All that matters is trying to overturn a six point deficit over the 14 remaining SPFL fixtures.
The Scottish transfer window closes at 11pm tonight, after that transfers are in the hands of the SFA.
Hi Joe,as decent strikers as these guys might be and who very well might end up helping us to secure the title come May,I agree with you,this constant winging it and being reactive rather than proactive seems to be on a permanent loop.Soul destroying.Not another penny from me until some sort of coherent plan in place.
Editor: We have a sticking plaster attitude rather than the model Desmond boasted about. Constant kicking of the can. This summer will be carnage with an exodus of decent players and no competent manager prepared to suffer recruitment led by gormless Nicholson.
We have a new manager coming in at the end of this season, Winning (fingers and toes crossed) plaster now, and let the new manager choose his style of replacements in the summer
Notable that this players transfer fee is under the threshold requiring authorisation by the NED Director who “owns” Celtic and dictates all investments and capital expenditure. That €3m outlay is mainly covered by Oh Sell on clause.
It’s not even Primark. It’s Gumtree! Wouldn’t surprise me if they paid by Provident Cheque! Celtic is Grace Brothers.
Happy wae these 3, however a CB and DM are now a priority

“Huge signing for Celtic……..”
