"Celtic fans being satisfied with their club's transfer business feels like a rare thing. That is probably because it is. Supporters of the Parkhead side have become increasingly irate with the club's hierarchy throughout the summer for a lack of business they deem acceptable. That only intensified on deadline day as Celtic had not announced any additional new signings by the time the window had closed at 23:00 BST."
"Rodgers' attack has looked somewhat undercooked this season. They failed to score across both legs of their Champions League play-off defeat to Kairat Almaty and were blunt in Sunday's goalless Old Firm draw. Nicolas Kuhn left in a big-money move earlier this summer, striker Kyogo Furuhashi was sold last winter and fellow forward Jota suffered a long-term injury at the end of last term."
High image fees, SNS Club record charges, high player turnover and many unknown signings made judging the Scottish Premiership window difficult. Celtic supporters expressed strong dissatisfaction after limited attacking reinforcements and missed targets, culminating in no new announcements by the 23:00 BST deadline before the late signing of Tunisia winger Sebastian Tounekti. Celtic's attack has struggled, failing to score in both Champions League play-off legs against Kairat Almaty and drawing 0-0 in the Old Firm. Departures and injuries, including Nicolas Kuhn's sale, Kyogo Furuhashi's earlier move and Jota's long-term injury, weakened options up front.
