Celtic have had some notable bargain buys in the last thirty years or so, some costing well under seven figures. In the era of prolific spending it’s quite a feat that Celtic have had so many brilliant individuals that the club paid a relatively low fee for.
Here’s an XI and nine substitutes I put together of players who were brought to the club for under a seven figure sum.
Playing in a 3-5-2 formation my bargain buys Celtic side is as follows.
1. Craig Gordon – free
2. Didier Agathe – £50,000
3. Emilio Izaguirre – £600,000
4. Jackie McNamara – £600,000
5. Kristoffer Ajer – £600,000
6. Bobo Balde – free
7. Henrik Larsson – £650,000
8. Victor Wanyama – £900,000
9. Jorge Cadete – £400,000.
10. Lubo Moravcik – £300,000
11. Tom Rogic – £450,000
Substitutes
12. Jonathan Gould – free
13. Mikel Lustig – free.
14. Tosh Mckinlay – £350,000
15. Scott McDonald – £700,000
16. Moussa Dembele – £500,000
17. Kris Commons – £300,000
18. Jeremie Frimpong – £300,000
19. Nir Bitton – £700,000
20. Joe Ledley- free
That’s a total of £7.7 million! You’d be lucky to get one quality player nowadays for that fee. The talent in this side is unbelievable, it would comfortably win the Scottish Premier League and could even compete in European football.
