As we enter the final fortnight before Celtic’s return to competitive action, the club are yet to make any moves for outfield players.
Goalkeeping duo Viljami Sinisalo and Kasper Schmeichel have been brought in over the past week but fans are becoming growingly frustrated at the lack of transfer activity so far this summer.
Arguably, the Hoops are weaker now than they were at the end of last season.
Some players have moved on, and Paulo Bernardo and Adam Idah have both returned to their parent clubs.
There is a desire to bring both back to Glasgow permanently, but, particularly regarding the latter, there has been little movement.
Idah’s goals were pivotal in the second half of last season as the Bhoys did the double.
He is playing for Norwich in pre-season, though, with new manager Johannes Hoff Thorup labelling him a ‘vital’ part of his squad for the upcoming campaign.
Such comments aren’t what Celtic fans want to hear, and pundit Gordon Dalziel can’t shake the feeling that Idah won’t be a bhoy come the end of summer.
“It’ll be interesting to see what happens”, he said (Clyde 1 Superscoreboard).
“I’ve just got a funny feeling with the fact it’s went on so long, I don’t know if there’s going to be business done there.”
The Parkhead faithful will hope Dalziel is eventually proved wrong, but things don’t look encouraging at the moment.
