I think we are keeping Halliday for the back up left back. He’s played there in the past and might not be the worst option. 

Aye but he is a bit slow and won't ever get any faster.

With our record on injuries?

I guess that's Ewan Wilson well and truly out of the picture then. 

Ewan said he wanted to go in his interview with Raith , he asked his agent to get him a move from Motherwell and to be fair - I think a lot of our injuries have been down to bad luck. 

I think this has been a really decent transfer window.

As far as Ewan Wilson is concerned, you're right. However that tells me that JBA is quite happy to see him move on, irrespective of our needs as a club.  He's on his way out. 

I'd say the window has been a mixed bag. We've brought in some really decent midfielders so thats that box well and truly ticked. Up front, the striking department has been found seriously wanting and the jury is still out as to whether we've really addressed that area. Defence, I'm not sure at all. We're short at left back. Central defence has been a serious weakness of ours for quite some time and, despite that, we bring in one injury prone loanee with an hour or so to go before the window closed. Goalkeepers? Our problem surfaced too late to actively address.

I get that there's still the free agent market that we could tap into. So far this season, our defence and attack have been two weak areas and I'm not convinced we've addressed those parts of the team. I hope I'm wrong of course and its early days.

Aye we could have done with another striker but hopefully Hendry will come good - I personally think Ewan has a lot of talent but started strong and lost confidence last year - very visible and it's probably for the best he moves on just now 

Just need to see what transpires if we can get any free agents in and see what happens in January 

From what I have seen on Twitter Celtic fans are saying they are sorry he's moving on. Hopefully things will work out well for him

Rumours suggest that we had a central defender lined up to join but that deal fell through when he failed a medical. Who knows? Stephen Welsh has the right physical attributes and is ostensibly the kind of defender who would fit into our system, from what I can gather. My main, probably sole, concern, is that he is injury prone. Fingers crossed we carried out a rigorous medical.

He had a shoulder injury earlier on in the summer that they thought might need surgery but didn't (can relate as someone who broke their shoulder, easy done). He also had an injury in 2023 but not sure what it was - hopefully he'll kick on. Celtic fans seem to be sorry he's going from what I've seen on twitter - but maybe they are just unhappy at their awful transfer window 

Yeah heard that too - that someone failed a medical
