What Celtic have spent in transfer fees under Ange Postecoglou as signing gems spark seismic shift

It's easy to forget the true scale of Ange Postecoglou 's task when he walked through the doors at Celtic Park.

A side who finished a whopping 25 points ahead of them.

He had to rebuild the starting XI that was padded out by academy kids during his first game in charge against Midtjylland in the Champions League qualifier.

17 new players have arrived at the club since Postecoglou took charge.

Things haven't quite gone to plan for the prospect having made just one first-team appearance so far in the Europa League dead rubber against Real Betis.

He is out on loan at Motherwell gaining valuable game time for the remainder of the campaign.

Transfer fee: £300k (Development fee)
