Celtic have endured a rollercoaster 12 months, but with two games left in the Scottish Premiership season they still have an opportunity to win the title despite some serious turmoil.
Nicolas Kuhn, Adam Idah and Greg Taylor all departed for pastures new during the summer window as former head coach Brendan Rodgers looked to freshen up his team, though the Northern Irish boss didn’t last long into the season, resigning in October before being replaced by Wilfried Nancy, who was sacked after just 33 days in charge. In between, 74-year-old Martin O’Neill has led the team on an interim basis.
Youngsters such as Josh Clarke and Francis Turley have gone out to gain valuable experience on loan, while flops such as Shin Yamada, Odim Thiago Holm and Hayato Inamura all moved on to pastures new at different stages of the campaign.
Here we look at the 22 Celtic players who moved away from the club before the start of the new campaign, and assess how they have done for their new teams in the first half of the season. Who has found success away from Parkhead - and who regrets their decision to leave?
5. Hayato Inamura - FC Tokyo (loan)
Another Japanese import who was unable to make an impact after joining in the summer. The centre-back returned to his homeland on loan in January and has featured regularly, starting 12 times as his side sits in second place in the J-League, just four points behind Kashima Antlers. | Getty Images
6. Greg Taylor - PAOK
The Scotland international moved to the Greek Super League in the summer after seven seasons with Celtic, but has found regular game time hard to come by. After starting the season in the team, he's fallen down the pecking order, featuring in just one of the club's last 10 games. Set to end the season in second place, PAOK are eight points adrift of AEK Athens with just two games remaining. | Getty Images
7. Nicolas Kuhn - FC Como
A big-money departure from Celtic, the German has had little impact on his new side, starting just five times in Serie A and scoring once. It has been a successful season for FC Como as a whole, though, who are currently in sixth with two games remaining. Just two points behind fourth-place AC Milan, they are targeting a late bid to qualify for the Champions League. | Getty Images
8. Daniel Cummings - West Ham United
Lethal for Celtic's B team last season, the youngster opted to move to the English Premier League upon the expiry of his Parkhead contract last summer. His progress was curtailed by injury just weeks after his arrival, but he has recently returned to fitness and form for the Hammers' academy sides, where he has scored three goals in his last four games. | Getty Images
