Celtic fans, can you get 8/8 on this quiz on forgotten players? First up: who is this?

It’s the first serious bit of transfer news that has been completed by the club since the arrival of Ange Postecoglou, as the Australian begins the process of setting up his squad for the upcoming season.

The 26-year-old didn’t have much of an opportunity to impress whilst he was at Celtic Park, making just 27 appearances for the club whilst spending large portions of his playing time out on loan at a variety of clubs across England, Scotland and even Australia.

And it was the lack of appearances that seemed to anger a number of fans online when they saw the news, as they were furious to see him depart the club:

“Selling him for a song our club’s incompetence knows no bounds”

“Well that’s quite daft now isn’t it Celtic?”
“Very bad business. Hopefully the club learns from this mistake of setting low pre-arranged permanent transfer fees for young players.”
“Terrible decision to let him leave, when our defence is so bad, we let a Scotland International defender leave”
“Heartbroken. Yes he got a lot of stick, maybe he just wasn’t a right fit for celtic but he proved himself in oostende to be a good player!”
“Another young prospect let away without a chance”
“Dreadful decision”
“Big mistake in my opinion.”

Did Jack Hendry deserve another chance at Celtic?

Yes

Yes

No

No

Now with that first bit of business out of the way, we just have to wait and see what else the club have in store in terms of incomings and outgoings.
