Celtic head into the new season looking to continue their domestic dominance, with the Hoops having swept up Scottish Premiership and cup honours on a near-annual basis in recent years.

With Champions League football to plan for once again, Martin O’Neill has had a quiet summer by Parkhead’s usual standards, with the club’s transfer business this window shaped as much by outgoings as incomings.

Hearts kept the Hoops on their toes all the way to the final moments of the season last time around, so signings are necessary to maintain their crown once again in 2026/27.

Here, Football FanCast tracks every confirmed Celtic signing and departure for the 2026/27 campaign.

Camilo Duran arrives from Azerbaijani side Qarabag for around £5m, with O’Neill bringing in the Colombian forward as an additional attacking option following a busier window for departures than arrivals.

The forward is joined by Kasper Hogh following his stunning season for Bodo/Glimt, where he scored 15 times and provided 11 assists in 30 games in all competitions.

Still, the Hoops actual net spend this summer is extremely low following an extensive list of departures.

Daizen Maeda has sealed a move to Ipswich Town, leaving Parkhead after establishing himself as one of the Hoops’ most reliable performers in recent seasons.

Luis Palma joins Polish side Lech Poznan for just over £3m, while Maik Nawrocki departs for Ligue 1 outfit Lens after struggling for consistent game time in Glasgow.

Kelechi Iheanacho and Stephen Welsh have both left on free transfers, joining Bursaspor and Swansea City respectively. Shin Yamada heads out on loan to Belgian side OH Leuven, while Kasper Schmeichel has called time on his playing career following his shoulder injury.

Who is Celtic’s Record Signing?

Celtic’s record signing is Kasper Hogh, who joined from Danish side Bodo Glimt in the summer of 2026 for a fee of £11m.

This eclipses the £11m spent on Arne Engles two years prior due to Hogh’s deal including undisclosed add-ons.

The 25 year-old was one of the stars of Bodo’s shock run to the knockout stages of the 2025/26 Champions League, scoring in wins over Manchester City, Atletico Madrid and Inter.

Who is Celtic’s Record Sale?

Jota-O'Riley-Starfelt-Celtic

Celtic’s record sale is Matt O’Riley, sold to Brighton in 2024 for £25m – a huge profit on the tiny fee the Hoops paid MK Dons for the midfielder.

O’Riley starred at Parkhead and won his first Denmark caps as a result of his form, with Brighton making him the club’s record sale.

Two other players are also believed to have cost in the region of £25m: Jota’s move to Al-Ittihad and Kieran Tierney’s switch to Arsenal.
