Manager: I'm delighted with the players we have brought in

Celtic made it a comfortable night at Paradise on Wednesday with a convincing 3-0 win against Aberdeen to keep their domestic winning run since the start of the season going.

It was also a busy week off the pitch for the Celts, with a number of new additions joining the club before the end of the summer transfer window.

Oliver Sørensen, Sam Johnstone, Shumaira Mheuka, Landon Emenalo, Joël van den Berg and Jordan Lotomba all became Celtic players over the course of this week, joining Camilo Durán, Kasper Høgh, Mika Baur and Haissem Hassan who all put pen to paper earlier in the window.

Speaking to the media at Lennoxtown this afternoon, Celtic Manager Martin O’Neill expressed his joy at adding more quality to his side over the course of the window.

“I am delighted to get the players we have.” He said. “I’m really pleased. We’ve got them in and I want to get on with it now.

“Some of the lads that we brought in have careers right ahead of them and this is a great start for them.

“I think they’re ready for it, and if you show belief in them, they’ll respond to it. That’s how I view it.”

The Hoops travel to Paisley to face St Mirren this weekend (Saturday, September 5, KO 8pm) in a top-of-the-table clash in what is sure to be a tough test for Martin O’Neill’s men.

Ahead of Saturday’s match, the Celtic boss praised St Mirren for their positive start to the season, saying: “I think they’ve (St Mirren) been great. Really terrific. They fought back last week against Motherwell and they won again in the midweek.

“They’re really terrific considering their precarious position last season. They’re playing now and they’re an absolute delight. Seriously, they’ve been terrific.”
