BRENDAN CAN DRAG ODIN HOLM TO AJER GROUND

ODIN THIAGO HOLM vanished from the Celtic scene.

But, with Brendan Rodgers in charge, there are 13 million reasons why the Norwegian kid could still end up a valuable Parkhead asset.

With this summer's transfer window now up and running, the Parkhead manager is hunting the market looking to strengthen his squad.

At this stage last summer, Holm and Marco Tillo were Celtic's only confirmed arrivals.

In the weeks that followed before the close of the window, seven more, plus the retention of Tomoki Iwata, would complete the list of incomers.

For the majority, a failure to make a regular mark over the campaign was evident.

Despite a hefty outlay, few were able to make a proper contribution and it was noted by fans that, when Rodgers' starting team was named for the Scottish Cup Final against Rangers in the quest to seal a Double last season, not one of those 2023 summer signings made the line-up.

In the end, Paulo Bernardo, the last of those in the door last summer along with Luis Palma, got onto the pitch as a sub and made a massive impact.

Defender Maik Nawrocki was curtailed by injury and Gustaf Lagerbielke was almost gone in January, despite gaining a clean sheet against Rangers at Ibrox and scoring a winner against Feyenoord in the Champions League.

Nat Phillips came and went, Tillo headed back to Australia, South Korean Yang Hyun-jun was unable to make a consistent impact and compatriot Kwon Hyeok-kyu spent time on loan at St Mirren.
