Celtic have agreed a deal to sign a “clinical” new striker in the summer

According to insiders, Celtic intend to break their club transfer record this summer in what promises to be a busy window.

Despite Paris Saint-Germain’s recent financial success, the £9 million sum paid for Odsonne Edouard in 2018 remains their club record move.

It is understood that the Glasgow club has set aside a ‘large sum’ to secure a marquee signing this summer as part of a significant signing spree.

Celtic fans have been critical of the club’s board and recruitment squad in recent years, accusing them of a lack of ambition.

In their 2022-23 reports, Parkhead reported £120 million in sales, £40 million in profit,

and £67 million in bank deposits. Celtic want to surpass the £9 million transfer record this summer amid fan protests.

Despite the club’s revenues, Celtic have only spent £21 million on new players this season,

having receiving about £25 million from Saudi Pro League team Al-Ittihad for Jota last summer.

Celtic chairman Peter Lawwell spoke about the club’s transfer activities during their annual general meeting this week.

Lawwell stated that the club’s board “shares the frustrations of supporters”

with the “less-than-anticipated activity in the recent transfer window”.

Celtic’s lack of transfer ambition looks to have had an impact on outcomes

, as archrivals Rangers surpassed them in the league table to take first place.

The line between guaranteeing safety and preserving supporters’ freedom to support their teams without being labeled as suspects is delicate.

While safety is vital, the measures used should not alienate or antagonize the people they seek to protect.

The deployment of drones by Police Scotland to monitor football matches is a strong indication that it is time for authorities to reconsider how they interact with supporters.
