I have to say that not only would you think that there might be another new arrival before the end of the window but that Celtic really do need to offload some players.

I think the squad is far too bloated and I know from experience how difficult it is to work with a squad that is too big.

It needs to be trimmed and boys like Lewis Morgan, who I think has look bright at times when he has come on, would do well to get the chance to go and play on loan somewhere. They will benefit for the game time and you can see by Ryan Christie’s example that it is possible to still come back and make your mark.

But it is not just from a financial point of view that it doesn't make sense to have too many players. It is awkward to try and make training sessions as influential as they can be when there are too many bodies. It makes sense for some guys to go and try and get game time.
