| 0:00.0 | The transfer window has closed Celtic have brought in rain. |
| 0:19.7 | Is what? |
| 0:58.3 | Slams shut. Celtic have brought in... Is what? Slams shut. Celtic are brought in reinforcements. Is the manager happy? Or the board happy? Are the fans happy? Are we happy? That's what we're going to discuss this week on 20 minute tims. I'm joined by Stephen. How's it going? And Melly. Yes. So, boys, I mean,eltic left it late as they always do. That means we have to leave the podcast late. That means we were having some very unhappy listeners and viewers. I got stopped in the street today. Someone said, where's the podcast? I says, we have to wait until Celtic conclude all their business. And you know what? They might not even have, and we'll get to that in a minute. but Stephen, Celtic conclude all their business and you know what they might not even have and we'll get to that in a minute but Stephen yeah Celtic did do some business we brought in obviously Thomas Jan Chavanchara that we know about that was just before the |
| 1:02.8 | month of close we brought in junior adamu from Freiburg we brought in joam vuka from |
| 1:07.6 | laurent and we brought in benjamin ar Benjamin Arthur from Brentford with talk of potentially another |

| 2:09.4 | But has it also made Celtic possibly a better bet of winning the league this year? |
| 2:11.6 | Also, yes, to be honest. |
| 2:17.1 | I think that some of it is, obviously all of this is framed through the lens of, |
| 2:19.2 | it's all obviously coming from a place where I haven't seen any of these players play for Seldic apart from Chwana |
| 2:23.1 | and Aronjahou who came earlier in the window. But some of it has, on paper at least, |
| 2:30.5 | looked to strengthen some positions for Celtic nothing. |
| 2:34.9 | I'm going to interrupt but sorry to drop |
