Celtic has made a significant move in the transfer market, securing six signings in just over 24 hours before the UEFA registration deadline on Wednesday night. This flurry of activity included four loan players prior to their 3-0 victory against Aberdeen.

Among the new additions are:

• Joel van den Berg, a 19-year-old midfielder from PSV Eindhoven, signed on a four-year deal.
• Jordan Lotomba, a Swiss right-back, who has joined until the end of the season.

Both players were confirmed shortly after the match. Additionally, Oliver Sorensen, a Danish midfielder, and Shim Mheuka, a striker from Chelsea, made their debuts off the bench during the Scottish Premiership clash. Sam Johnstone, a goalkeeper from Wolves, was also on the substitutes' bench, while Landon Emenalo, another Chelsea signing, is expected to be sidelined for several weeks due to fitness issues.

Celtic's manager, Martin O'Neill, expressed his satisfaction with the new signings, stating, "I'm very pleased that they're in the door. I think that they'll definitely add something to us." He acknowledged the departures of Johnny Kenny and Reo Hatate to Preston and Burnley, respectively, and indicated that further signings might occur before the Scottish Premiership deadline on Thursday at 5pm. The club is reportedly interested in Gvidas Gineitis, a midfielder from Torino.

These six new arrivals come after earlier summer signings, including Camilo Duran, Kasper Hogh, Mika Baur, and Haissem Hassan. Celtic's proactive approach in the transfer window suggests they are keen on strengthening their squad for both domestic and European competitions.
