Ultimately, Adam Idah and Nicolas Kuhn were the only newcomers to arrive at Parkhead prior to the deadline.
Both played well together yesterday as the former came back from a 1-1 deficit to tie with Aberdeen at Pittodrie; however, the Bhoys’ lead in the Scottish Premiership has now been reduced to three points.
Speaking of hiring, Celtic was brought up in relation to a number of other prospective targets last month that ultimately fell through.
Many people are familiar with Sydney van Hooijdonk because of the persistent reports that linked the Dutchman to Brendan Rodgers’ team during the window.
As the market was closing down, the 23-year-old’s final destination turned out to be Norwich City, despite rumours that he might have ended up in Glasgow at the end of the game.
Naturally, Canaries loanee Idah proved to be the one to respond to Rodgers’ need for some variation in the last third, capping off an intriguing series of events.
Anthony Joseph, a reporter for Sky Sports, provided some explanation on why Celtic chose not to pursue a move for Van Hooijdonk prior to his transfer to Norwich City in an interview with The Celtic Exchange.
