Fifty days have passed since the Scottish Cup Final ended in defeat for Rangers and Joe Hart bid an emotional farewell to the Celtic fans in the midst of their celebrations at Hampden.
Tomorrow or next day, or maybe even the one after that – because this is Celtic we’re talking about – Kasper Schmeichel is expected to sign for Brendan Rodgers’ side on a free transfer from Anderlecht.
At this laboured rate of player recruitment, the summer transfer window will close and Celtic fans will need to wait until January before welcoming the next new arrival.
One signing every 50-odd days will require the patience of saints. Supporters can take consolation in the fact that Schmeichel will get here before that shipment of steel for Ibrox that Rangers are expecting.
