Ross Doohan – Goalkeeper (Aberdeen) – 4/10

Back at Celtic for a second spell, now the No 3 goalkeeper, Ross Doohan represents stability rather than spectacle. In an ideal world, this slot would go to a younger keeper gaining experience through Scotland’s new cooperation system, moving fluidly between loan and parent club for minutes. But Celtic prefer a seasoned backup.

Doohan’s international recognition and steady displays at Aberdeen suggest reliability if called upon, yet the reality is he may not see meaningful action all season. It’s pragmatic squad management, perhaps, but not particularly inspiring for a player who may still harbour ambitions of regular football.
