BRENDAN RODGERS has not been messing around when it has come to trimming his squad.
Erik Sviatchenko is the highest profile player to leave to date, Stuart Armstrong is next in line to leave the club.
However, the manager has been scrubbing the decks of the developmental system as well as moving on fringe players he deems not up to scratch.
The latest two players to leave Parkhead are a Jamie McCart and Joe Thomson – two player who graduated from the Celtic academy.
McCart has moved to Inverness while Thomson has penned a deal with Dunfermline.
It’s more proof Rodgers is trying to build from the ground up, bringing in his own approved youth stars like Leo Mazis from Australia and bringing them on.
There could be more releases before the start of the season.
