Celtic do not have the deepest squad right now. But still, there are several players at the club who have struggled to break into Ange Postecoglou’s first-team plans this season. And while there are many of them who could eventually make an impact, there are some who should depart in the upcoming January transfer window.

At the end of the day, Celtic are expected to strengthen further in January. And then, some of these players could find themselves even further down the pecking order.

Thus, a move away in January might potentially be the best move for the club and the players individually.

Of course, injuries have been a massive problem for Celtic in recent times and it is very possible that the situation could end up changing in the coming months.

Here are three Celtic players who should leave the club this January after struggling to break into Ange Postecoglou’s first-team plans:

When Boli Bolingoli arrived at Celtic a couple of years back, there were a lot of expectations from him. It was the summer that Kieran Tierney left the club and thus, he had been brought in to fill big boots.

It is safe to say that he did not quite manage to do that and has struggled to break into Celtic’s first-team plans for most of his time at Parkhead.

Now, there have been times when he has put in solid displays and given rise to hopes that he could eventually establish himself as a starter in this Celtic team. But till now, it has not happened and feels unlikely to happen under the management of Postecoglou, who has preferred to go with Josip Juranovic, who is a natural right-back, at left-back in recent times rather than play Bolingoli.
