Celtic fans have voiced their discontent today against Aberdeen following what they perceive as a seriously underwhelming transfer window.

The club’s supporters expressed their disappointment with the board’s handling of the January transfer window, citing a lack of significant signings to bolster the squad.

Despite high hopes and anticipation, the window closed without anticipated signings, leaving many fans frustrated and questioning the club’s ambitions.

The sentiment among supporters highlights a growing desire for decisive action and strategic planning to address the team’s needs and ambitions to progress in Europe.

As the season has progressed, the Celtic board has faced mounting pressure to address concerns from fans and take proactive steps to strengthen the squad for the second half of the season.

With Reo Hatate and Greg Taylor injured, Brendan Rodgers faces yet another injury crisis. Without January signings to cover each position, the club instead sold David Turnbull to Cardiff City.

Celtic were able to keep hold of both Matt O’Riley and Liel Abada during the January transfer window. However, as most fans have become aware, standing still while at the top of Scottish football is a recipe for disaster.

With the Hoops having lost the likes of Jota, Aaron Mooy, Giorgos Giakoumakis, Carl Starfelt, and Josip Juranovic in the last year, the team has regressed.

This regression comes at a time when, under Rodgers, the club seemed poised to progress in Europe after a disappointing 20 years in European football, after having reached the UEFA Cup final in 2003.
