Celtic remain focused on strengthening their first-team squad while also planning for the future with promising young signings.
While recent additions like Kieran Tierney, Ross Doohan, and Benjamin Nygren are expected to make an immediate impact, prospects such as Callum Osmand are seen as long-term investments. Isaac English has also joined Celtic’s B team, with Brendan Rodgers closely monitoring Stephen McManus’ side for emerging talent.
One of their newest targets is Cathal O’Sullivan, a highly-rated teenager from Cork City who has been turning heads in Ireland. According to the Irish Independent, O’Sullivan is on Celtic’s radar following an impressive breakthrough year in 2024, where he scored seven goals and became a regular starter.
His standout performances earned him a call-up to the Republic of Ireland U21 squad and attracted attention from several Premier League clubs. Cork City boss Tim Clancy believes O’Sullivan has the potential to become the club’s next million-pound transfer, and Celtic have already been told they’d be securing a top-tier young talent if they act quickly.
