Celtic Women could be in crisis mode come summer as they have 16 players set to leave the club.
The Ghirls have a number of players returning to their parent clubs or out of contract at the end of the season, and with no news on contract extensions yet, fans are left wondering who will remain.
Two players included in that list are joint club captains Kelly Clark and Claire Walsh.
Celtic players that are set to leave
- Goalkeeper - Lisa Rodgers - Contract expiry
- Goalkeeper - Adelaide Gay - Contract expiry
- Defender - Chloe Craig - Contract expiry
- Defender - Claire Walsh - Contract expiry
- Defender - Kelly Clark - Contract expiry
- Defender - Tara O'Hanlon - End of loan
- Defender - Hannah Luke - Contract expiry
- Defender - Maddi Wilde - End of loan
- Midfielder - Natalie Ross - Contract expiry
- Midfielder - Jenny Smith - Contract expiry
- Midfielder - Clare Goldie - Contract expiry
- Midfielder - Momo Nakao - Contract expiry
- Forward - Maria McAneny - Contract expiry
- Forward - Emma Westin - Contract expiry
- Forward - Poppy Pritchard - End of loan
With that whopping list of potential exits, the Hoops will have to move sooner rather than later if they want to keep some amazing players on their books.
Who could leave and who could stay?
It's important to keep in mind that these players, apart from the loan deals, are ones brought in by former manager Elena Sadiku. Grant Scott may be keen to let some contracts expire if he thinks that some players won't fit into his plans long-term.
One player he could potentially let go of is Emma Westin. Although she did pick up an injury, Westin has only played 294 minutes of football in the Scottish Women's Premier League this season. In that time, she has managed just one assist, and Scott could opt to move her on at the end of the season.
You would expect that he will keep club captains Kelly Clark and Claire Walsh. Clark has been a constant at Celtic, having played for the club since 2013, and she is still being chosen by Scott week in, week out. Out of everyone on this list, she is definitely one who will stay.
Walsh was only signed in the summer and has put in some brilliant performances this season. She has quickly become a fan favourite, and her experience mixed with her skill on the pitch will make her one Scott does not want to lose.
Fans will hope that Scott will offer a new contract to Goldie. Although the young player has struggled with a lot of bad injuries recently, she has buckets of potential and is deserving of a spot in the starting line-up when she's fit. Once she's back, she'll be an invaluable asset for the Celts.
Nakao has been in great form this season and is also deserving of a new deal. Signing with Celtic was her first professional contract, but you wouldn't think it. She offers a lot both in attack and defence.
Someone who also offers a lot of McAneny. The winger, who made her 100th appearance for the club recently, has secured her place in the starting 11 and is often a reason why we score.
The club won't want to lose Craig, as she is another club legend. Although she has been out for a while, she looked amazing before picking up her injury, and with her now coming back, it's another experienced player for the Hoops to rely on.
Ross has also been at the club for a long time, but has been studying towards her coaching badges. Could this be a sign that the midfielder is considering hanging the boots up?
Celtic will need to keep Rodgers, and offering her a deal should be seen as an urgent matter. Barring a few mistakes, the goalkeeper has been in form for the Hoops this season and has the potential to be one of the best goalkeepers the SWPL has ever seen.
Should fans worry?
Fans will be wondering if it's time to start worrying yet, and the honest answer is no. There is still plenty of time left this season for contracts to be agreed, and who knows, discussions could be ongoing right now.
With that being said, you should expect to see a lot of players leave in the summer. It's simply the way at Celtic Women. The revolving door transfer method appears to be going nowhere.
