    Good job we've got that six point lead now.

    This could well end up a four horse race for the league now.

    And the anger online will be directed to the Celtic twitter account, like people think the board read it or care about that.

    See the last part. If true, it doesn't make sense.

    The amount we have wasted on 1-4m signings must add up to hundreds of millions including wages. Yet we continue to do that.

    It's not an excuse. One summer of spending slightly more and its back to normal? £6m isn't even a lot of money now. It's zilch.

    Did we sign no one in the last day then ? Seen a vid saying we signed a winger from Sweden and a striker on a free, is it not true ?

    Aye. Gonna be plenty struggles and dropped points..

    The side is * in quality, creativity, goals, options and pace..

    It's disgustingly bad on paper and we've seen that translated in our last 3 games..

    At the risk of employing some recency bias I think Id have to put this window right at the very top of all time worsts.

    80M in cash, bombed out by Amaty, and we look to have actually downgraded our squad since then. And humiliated all over Europe by our bungling transfer attempts.

    Surely a line in the sand moment that warrants the most serious of reflection by those in charge.

    Seemingly getting a proper RW in will be another multi window saga.

    It's finally over for another 6 months, thank *.

    Hopefully Rodgers is able to get something from this current squad.

    How much have we spent? Less than £8m? If that winger comes maybe £13m. That's low for us in recent years.

    My guess is they will switch Balikwisha to RW meantime.

    Honestly think the league this season has just turned into a 4 horse race. 6 months ago we were going toe to toe with Bayern Munich, unbelievable

    Even by Celtic standards it's almost impressive just how much they managed to * that.

    Tisdale will be the sacrificial lamb and I have no doubt that will satisfy some of our support but in reality he just joins those who have gone before him. This time there has to be genuine change at boardroom level * Nicholson out of a cannon and get someone in with actual experience in football anything else is unacceptable even a DoF would just be undermined by the board imo.

    Rangers spent £30m and took in £25m reportedly.

    Unfathomable that we've actively left ourselves weaker coming out of this window.

    I said before that shifting Idah would've turned this window into an at least somewhat useful one. But I honestly would've kept him here if this was the outcome.

    0/10 window and I mean that.
