Deadline day proved a bit of a let down for many fans but a number of clubs will feel they’ve strengthened over the course of this transfer window, if not all.

Celtic’s transfer activity was always going to be scrutinised after the departure of Kyogo Furuhashi to Rennes.

The return of Jota is not like-for-like but clearly, if he hits anywhere near the form of his first spell, then the club has added real quality – a considerable upgrade on the departed Luis Palma who left for Olympiacos on loan.

However, manager Brendan Rodgers made it clear he wanted to come out of this window stronger. Jeffrey Schlupp’s loan move from Crystal Palace offers top-level experience and depth after Alex Valle’s departure but Celtic supporters, and perhaps their manager, expected more.

There’s no doubt they tried to bring in a striker. Fans are questioning why Kyogo was allowed to go if no direct recruit was set in stone? The trade-off may have been that the move was key to Jota returning.

They’re now left with a recently resurgent Adam Idah and Daizen Maeda as back up plus Johnny Kenny and Daniel Cummings, who seems intent on leaving.

With just 14 league games left and a sizable lead, a blockbuster Bayern Munich double-header and the remainder of the Scottish Cup, perhaps there’s a reluctant acceptance that they have enough having seen options shut down.

Kieran Tierney will arrive and no doubt a striker will be priority in the summer. It’ll be interesting to see the reaction of Rodgers, never mind fans in the coming days.
