Celtic is on the cusp of its first summer acquisition with Camilo Duran reportedly nearing a move for approximately £6 million. The 24-year-old midfielder enjoyed a strong 2025-26 campaign with Qarabag, notching five Champions League goals. Manager Martin O'Neill expressed confidence that this signing will be the start of increased transfer activity.

O'Neill confirmed the club is actively pursuing multiple targets and has received offers for players. He anticipates new signings joining within the next couple of weeks, aiming to bolster the existing squad. Meanwhile, veteran midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has agreed to a new one-year contract after his initial short-term deal.

Defender Cameron Carter-Vickers made his return from a ruptured Achilles in a 1-1 draw against Shelbourne, playing the first half. He detailed his lengthy recovery process, emphasizing the mental fortitude required. Separately, former player Chris Sutton suggested Celtic may need to invest upwards of £50 million in a squad overhaul to compete domestically and in Europe.
