Osmand was one of the more curious recruits, a young forward who looked bright in pre-season but has yet to taste senior men’s football. A loan move, reportedly lined up by Shaun Maloney to a Championship side, was turned down by the player himself. That’s a gamble.

Yet you have to admire the self-belief. With Celtic’s strike force still searching for consistency, Osmand may see opportunity rather than obstacle. He’s betting on himself to seize a moment rather than learn elsewhere. It might prove naive, but it also hints at a mentality that Celtic fans appreciate, confident, bordering on cocky, but never short of conviction, will do for me. Cut of jib, very much liked. No idea yet if he’s any good yet.
