The biggest exit for the Scottish club could potentially be the transfer of club legend, James Forrest. The winger has been part of the Celtic first team set-up since 2010 when he made his debut under Neil Warnock. His exit will be an emotional one for the fans as well as the player himself if it materialises. Forrest has made a whopping 485 appearances for the Glasgow-based side amassing over 100 goals and another 100 assists. The potential departure of the 32-year-old has been described as the “end of an era” in the media.

The proposed transfer of centre-back Gustaf Lagerbielke has fallen through according to reports. The 23-year-old defender was set to join Italian side Lecce on a loan move. However, an injury to seasoned centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers has put the move in jeopardy. Celtic are likely to keep Lagerbielke till the end of the season to avoid being thin in options in the heart of defence.
