Fans held out hope for some late fireworks but the disintegration of the deal for \u00a38.5m Kasper Dolberg encapsulated a miserable Monday, and window in general for that matter, as the Premiership champions are left with glaring areas of weakness in multiple positions.<\/p>\n
Celtic<\/a> have railed against criticism of their signing strategy and execution over the years, however, the rage is palpable among their people.<\/p>\n Record Sport columnist Chris Sutton summed up the outrage among a fanbase who have been left dumbfounded by their clubs inability to get deals over the line.<\/p>\n The Hoops hero said: “The most remarkable window of all time. Celtic have come out of it weaker\u2026 at least Celtic are doing everything they can for there to be a title race this season, going into a season with great expectation and excitement after a few weeks the feeling now is utter deflation.”<\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n And scorned former goalkeeper Benji Siegrist, who let rip over his own exit from Celtic, couldn’t resist clamping his former employers with a brief but biting dig on social media.<\/p>\n The Swiss keeper \u2013 now with Genoa \u2013 wrote: “Some things never change”.<\/p>\n And the club’s ultras the Green Brigade \u2013 long-time dissenters of the club’s senior management \u2013 have made clear they have three men in their sights as they posted a banner which calls for largest shareholder Dermot Desmond<\/a>, non-executive chairman Peter Lawwell and under-fire chief executive Michael Nicholson to be banished.<\/p>\n Anger is rising and recriminations set to follow when Celtic return for their trip to Rugby Park in a fortnight after the international break.<\/p>\n Tune in to Hotline Live<\/a> every Sunday to Thursday and have your say on the biggest issues in Scottish football and listen to Record Sport’s newest podcast, Game On<\/a>, every Friday for your sporting fix, all in bitesize chunks.<\/p>\n You can get all the news you need on our dedicated Celtic<\/a> page, and sign up to our newsletters<\/a> to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.<\/p>\n We’re also WhatsApp where we bring all the latest breaking news and transfer gossip directly to your phone.
