How has Celtic's transfer window gone so far?

If Scales does join Celtic, then he be among a handful of defenders to arrive at the club as part of the summer transfer window. Carl Starfelt moved to the Hoops from Rubin Kazan for a reported fee of £4m.

As well as Starfelt, further defensive reinforcements arrived in the shape of experienced goalkeeper Joe Hart and Sheffield Wednesday defender Osaze Urhoghide. Hart and Starfelt have quickly become first-team regulars, whilst Urhoghide has yet to feature for the first-team.

Celtic also made an intriguing move in the middle of the park, signing James McCarthy on a free transfer, after the Ireland international left Crystal Palace. The midfielder recently made his Hoops debut in the second-half of Premier Sports Cup tie against Hearts.

The Hoops haven't neglected the attacking side of the squad in the transfer window. Winger Liel Abada joined in a reported £3.5m deal from Israeli side Maccabi Petah Tikva, and he has scored two goals for the club so far.

Perhaps the pick of the signings, however, has been Japanese forward Kyogo Furuhashi. The attacker joined the Hoops from Vissel Kobe, and has made a great start to life in Scotland, scoring five goals.
