A Kelechi Iheanacho extension might be wise, considering previous abysmal attempts to secure Kyogo replacement… Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t want Celtic to sign players that aren’t fully match fit on a regular basis. However, this is not normal circumstances and the people that run our recruitment have shown time and time again they cannot be trusted to secure suitable replacements for players in adequate timeframes.
