It’s been a good window for Celtic so far. It was important that we managed to tie up a few deals, as it’s clear that we have a title fight on our hands, and fortunately, that’s seemingly exactly what we’re looking to do.
#WelcomeBayo #CelticFC are delighted to announce the signing of forward, Vakoun Issouf Bayo, on a four-year deal from Dunajská Streda.

Given the reliance that Brendan Rodgers has had on Odsonne Edouard this season, it was always important for us to improve the attack. You can’t win games without a reliable goalscorer, and whilst Edouard is certainly that, he can’t do it all alone.
Hopefully, Bayo will be able to take the load off him somewhat.
Whilst fans are clearly pleased about the news, it’s fair to say that many Celtic supporters are still expecting more. In response . to the news about his arrival, Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to make their fresh demands clear.
Specifically, lots of supporters want to see another defensive upgrade or two come in. Clearly, they’re pleased with the attacking options that are now available, with attention now turning to solidifying our back-line. See below:
Now onto defence

Celtic are stepping it up. Sign a young and powerful right back and we are looking very good.
