Celtic's recruitment head position remains vacant as summer transfer window opens
Summary

Celtic manager Martin O’Neill confirmed the club is still searching for a head of recruitment. This comes amid criticism regarding the lack of transfers during the summer window, which has seen fewer signings compared to the previous year. Following the exits of key figures, including Paul Tisdale and Wilfried Nancy, the club is focusing on improving its recruitment strategy. O’Neill noted that Shaun Maloney's responsibilities have shifted, as he is concentrating more on coaching rather than recruitment. The club is evaluating potential candidates for the vacant position but is not rushing the process.
