5 players Celtic should send out on loan in January

Ismaila Soro

Out of all the names on this list, Soro is the most interesting, as he has been linked with a potential permanent move away from Celtic Park.

It might be a bit too early for that though. After all, when he first broke into the first-team picture at Celtic last season, he had made a tremendous start and was the standout player for the club for several weeks.

Since then, his form has faded away without question but there is certainly potential in him. It is just about getting the best out of him while also improving on some of his weaknesses.

A loan spell away from the club could certainly help with that, especially since he has barely featured this season and his participation is expected to decrease further following the arrivals of Reo Hatate and Yosuke Ideguchi.

Adam Montgomery

Montgomery is someone who had made a very promising start this season and was impressing at left-back for Celtic.

But it is safe to say that he has struggled in recent times, and appears to have fallen down the pecking order in Postecoglou’s side.

At 19 years of age, he certainly needs to go out on loan somewhere where he will get a bit of regular football. At the moment, he is not ready to be a starter for Celtic on a consistent basis but he has shown enough potential to suggest that he can reach that level in the future.

Dane Murray

Murray had impressed immensely with a couple of his performances earlier in the campaign as it looked like he was set to have a role in Postecoglou’s side.

That has not turned out to be the case though. In fact, he has not made a single appearance since those impressive displays in the Champions League qualifiers. At 18 years of age though, he has plenty of time on his hands and still has a lot of room for improvement.
