Celtic are set to lose upwards of ten people this summer through natural attrition. The Celtic squad has become inflated and the wage bill is very high for all the dead wood we have.

For some of these men, it was time to move on, for others, it will be a case of trying to replace them during the summer window.
Celtic should not stop there though and they must endeavour to shift more people stealing a wage at the club and none more so than Marvin Compper. As much as Celtic fans have seen the funny side of this and he’s become a bit of a joke figure, the German is picking up a sizeable wage and it doesn’t look like Neil Lennon will use him unless he can’t get any new centre backs in before the Champions League qualifiers.
Enough is enough, surely it’s time to cut a deal with the defender.
