Celtic Football Club is still riding high after their stunning 5-1 win over Aberdeen on May 14, 2025. Among them, Johnny Kenny shone, with a goal and some brilliant technical play in the game. Under the guidance of manager Brendan Rodgers, the team has been active in the transfer market, securing seven new players this summer, including three on free transfers. This smart strengthening of the team, both individually and collectively, is designed to make them a formidable force in the Scottish Premiership.
Kenny made the move to Celtic from Sligo Rovers last January. He just signed a long-term contract extension that will keep him at the club through 2029. Yet it was his performances on loan at both Queen’s Park and Shamrock Rovers which really burst onto the scene. After putting up 25 goals last season, Rodgers has him as one of the top weapons for the Panthers this season. The manager expressed confidence in Kenny’s potential to contribute significantly to Celtic’s success in the upcoming season.
One of the main themes this season has been Celtic’s summer recruitment drive, and the Hoops have enjoyed a number of new arrivals joining their squad. One of the loan additions is Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, who has joined Celtic from Manchester City. The Simpson-Pusey twins aren’t quite ready to suit up for Celtic just yet. His legions of fans have waited long enough for his debut!
Besides Simpson-Pusey, Callum Osmand also joins Celtic as a second recent signing. These tactical acquisitions showcase the sense of direction the club has taken towards building a versatile team that can win matches at the highest competitive level. Rodgers made clear that Celtic will not suspend their next fixture, against Livingston. Even with so much new talent on-board, the team is excited to continue building momentum in their campaign.
Celtic’s 4-2 victory against St Mirren this past weekend was a rousing beginning to their Premiership campaign. The victory certainly lifts spirits and creates a sense of excitement. Fans are understandably optimistic about a productive year to come! Led by a great mix of experienced returners and intriguing young talent, Celtic looks primed to be one of the biggest surprises of the year.
