Ed, dou know who Celtic are looking at with a view to Jan transfers? And if any teams are interested in any of our fringe players.
{Ed007's Note - We've been watching Sunderland Vito Mannone recently. Exits, I've nothing much because other clubs are mostly just working through lists of who's available to see who catches their eye. Ambrose has a couple of English teams looking at him but he's seen as a risk because of lack of playing time. It's difficult to sell players during the January window. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ajer go out on a 6 month loan, he's had time to settle in the country and need to get back to playing football but I think it'll be a Scottish team where Celtic can keep an eye on him and it wouldn't disrupt the youngsters personal life by moving house away from everyone he knows in Scotland. I've seen some rumours about Pierre trying to get Ciftci a loan preferabbly back in Turkey but he's open to anything. The GK Baily will also be available and maybe even on a free.}

Mannone isn't the answer for me either. Was willing to give BR the benefit of the doubt with De Vries but always thought that being able to save shots was much more important than the ability to play it to a full back.
I was thinking an SPL move would be best for Ajer.
As for Ambrose, I was really surprised he was allowed to stay and fight for his place to be honest.

Cifti supposedly back to Utd in January.
It's a done deal but for some reason Utd want to keep it quiet
Only passing on what I've heard from a decent source.

I'm sure Rodgers did not want to play him but had little choice at start of season, due to injuries. I'm also sure Rodgers tried to punt him in the summer but even though we had offers, player could not agree terms.
Think we will try and offload him in January and see if we can at least get a small fee. Failing that he will be off next summer when his contract expires.
