Heading For The Nearest Exit

When January 1st 2017 lands upon us it will mark the opening of the transfer window and by default, only Brendan Rodgers second since he took charge of Glasgow Celtic. Naturally all eyes are on who the manager will be bringing in to the club rather than out, yet part and parcel of BR's job will be to  clear out some of the players that he just doesn't think have a future in the EastEnd of Glasgow. Bearing this in mind let's take a look at five players that will almost certainly be moving on in January or in the summer.

Two Departures... Two Very Different Outcomes

They say you don't know what you have until it's gone. However in the case of Kris Commons, the Celtic fans knew exactly what they had and just what a massive contribution he made during his time at the club, Such was his impact that the player's loan deal to Hibs was met with a sense of sadness that reverberated throughout the vast majority of the Celtic family. Even Lisa Hague, wife of Kris and herself a worthy inductee into the Celtic family wrote a heartfelt tribute to the club that she and her husband have taken to their hearts. This is what happens when players of a significant stature look set to depart a team where the fans have put them on a pedestal. Players come and go but the club goes on and even losing the likes of Henrik Larsson has not prevented Celtic Football Club from continuing to exist. Just as there are players whom the support will mourn, there are also players whose exit would barely muster a response. Yet paradoxically, there is a man at Celtic Park whose impending departure may actually be more of a talking point than Kris Commons.. We are of course talking about Efe Ambrose.
