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?
13. Lenny Agbaire - Rotherham United
The 21-year-old defender left the club in the summer in order to break into senior first-team football. While he found that with the Millers, playing 18 times at the New York Stadium, he also suffered a shock relegation to the third tier of English football. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
14. Liam Bonetig - Melbourne City FC
The Australian was brought to Celtic after showing promise as a teenager with Western Sydney Wanderers, but failed to make a single senior appearance before returning to his homeland last summer. Now a regular with Melbourne City, the 20-year-old ended the campaign in sixth place in the A-League. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images

15. Francis Turley - Ayr United (loan)
One of Celtic's most highly rated academy stars, Turley was allowed to move on loan to the Championship with Ayr in February after sporadic appearances off the bench in the Hoops' first team. The 20-year-old had little impact, though, as the Honest Men struggled in the second half of the season. He started just three times at Somerset Park. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group

16. Johnny Kenny - Bolton Wanderers (loan)
A huge hit on loan at Bolton, he scored six times and was nominated for the EFL League One player of the month award in April after playing a major role in the Trotters securing a place in the end-of-season playoffs. Sadly found his progress curtailed when a knee injury on the final day of the season ended his time at the Toughsheet Community Stadium prematurely. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
