Bosnian winger Said Hamulic sparked confusion in France as he bizarrely posted a video 'welcoming' him to Celtic to his social media - before rapidly deleting it.
The 22-year-old was linked with a move to Parkhead under Ange Postecoglou back in January but instead joined Tolouse where things have not gone to plan. He's failed to score and make an assist in the nine games he played for Toulouse and admitted last month while on international duty, he would be considering his future over the summer after changing his agents too.
And with his promising career threatening to go off the rails, it seems he - or at least someone posting to his Instagram - has been living in an alternate reality. A curious social media post emerged of him watching a showcase video of his talents with the caption 'Said Hamulic, Welcome to Celtic' before rapidly taking it down.
Speaking on his struggles at Tolouse, Hamulic said: "I don't know if I will stay in Toulouse. I don't know what the plans are and what will happen. When I get home, I'll think about it. It was a difficult season for me, also mentally. But when you look at my career, I always come back stronger. This will also be the case next season."
Elsewhere in Celtic transfers that didn't quite come to pass, Cho Gue-sung once again insisted he has no regrets about not signing for the club as he prepares to seal a switch to Denmark with FC Midtjylland instead. The South Korean striker will travel to Europe to sign for Midtjylland, who beat off competition from clubs in the English Championship to sign Cho.
Cho was a target for Celtic in the last transfer window, but the deal crumbled after a fee could not be agreed with his club Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors and he played his last match for them at the weekend and signed off with a goal. The Hoops turned their attention instead to Oh Hyeon-gyu and splashed out £2.5 million to Suwon Bluewings to land him. But Cho refuses to be bitter that his move to Celtic didn't happen.
He said: "I wanted to sign for a club that I could play games. I don't regret not signing for Celtic or Mainz. I've never had any regrets. I don't listen to what others say, so I tend to do what I want to do. I didn't ask other people for advice.
"I played about 12 games this season because of an injury at the beginning, but I feel like I'm ready now. Actually, if I had gone to Europe last winter, I would have struggled because of the injury.
"I got a lot of attention because I scored important goals for South Korea, but I don't think about that kind of responsibility. I'm just trying to challenge myself."
It's been two in, two out to kick off the Brendan Rodgers era at Celtic with Odin Thiago Holm and Marco Tilio arriving while Aaron Mooy has retired and Jota is off to Saudi Arabia for £25m. But one player who won't be leaving is Daizen Maeda who followed Kyogo in penning a long-term deal last week.
And he has revealed he puts so much effort into his pressing game in Scottish football, he's starting to suffer from cramps for the first time in his career. The Japanese international pledged his future to the Hoops last week by signing a new four-year deal that will keep him in Glasgow.
Maeda has been renowned for his all-action game out wide for Celtic and, in an interview with a Tokyo radio station, revealed just how much he puts into his style of play. He said: "In Scottish football, I have experienced something that I never got in Japan - cramps.
"I never ever got cramps in Japan, but since I came to Celtic I have started suffering from cramping in my legs. I think it is because I work so hard to press the opposition.
But I love it. The big difference between Japan and Scotland is the number of supporters and their reactions. The fans react the same way to me working hard and fighting to win the ball and almost celebrate that as much as when I score a goal!"
