Celtic manager Neil Lennon oversaw a pretty major squad overhaul in the summer, as he brought in a host of quality new talents while also shipping out a number of players in order to balance the books. The transfer window was largely dominated by the Kieran Tierney transfer saga, which saw the player eventually leave Parkhead to join Arsenal.
Well, so far, so good, as the Hoops are sitting comfortably three points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership with maximum points from six games. Here's a look at the players who Celtic moved on over the summer, who either left in the pursuit of permanent deals elsewhere, or to get some valuable first team football experience under their belts. Click and scroll through the gallery to see how they're faring at their new clubs.
Tierney
He was never really given a go under Brendan Rodgers, making just one appearance in an 18-month stint at the club. He's now playing third tier football back in Germany, where his side currently sit in fifth place.
Another fringe player moved on, the Costa Rica international also found his way to Germany. His new team have been positively woeful this season, failing to win in seven league games. They've lost just once with Gamboa in the side, mind.
After agreeing a pre-contract deal back in January, the 27-year-old completed a permanent move to Edinburgh. He's played pretty well this season, and scored the winning goal on the first day of the season against St Mirren.
After being a rock at the back for Celtic in eight consecutive league title wins, the Swedish powerhouse took on a new challenge in Belgium. He helped his side to win their first Europa League group match of the campaign.
Sent out to gain some valuable first-team experience, the 22-year-old defender has done just that, making seven appearances so far this season. His side are, however, rock bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference.
