Celtic transfer bulletin as Mikey Johnston exit delay explained while Mohammad Abu Fani handed second chance

Celtic started their bid to keep the Scottish Premiership title in Glasgow's east end with a win over Aberdeen as Ange Postecoglou's revamped squad got their first outing.

There has been seven players arriving at Celtic Park so far this summer but there has been radio silence from the champions since the arrival of Aaron Mooy and Mortiz Jenz. However, ahead of the clash with Ross County the Australian boss admitted the club were still looking for deals this summer with players set to arrive at Parkhead as well as go out the door with the likes of Mikey Johnston, Christopher Jullien and Albian Ajeti facing uncertain futures.

Winger Johnston had looked to be heading to Standard Liege for a reunion with former boss Ronny Deila, having been on the fringes under Postecoglou as the club surged to the Scottish Premiership title with his last competitive appearance coming back in March against Dundee United in a 14 minute cameo. He failed to make the bench for the opening day fixture against Aberdeen with a move to Belgium seemingly imminent.
