The likes of Calvin Bassey and Moussa Dembele saw big money moves fail to work out after leaving Scotland.
They came, they saw, they left. Jilted fans who have seen another hero leave Scotland are often accused of sour grapes. But sometimes the grass isn't always greener.
The financial argument made it a no brainer. But no one could have foreseen the situation Jota now finds himself in. Al Ittihad either forgot or just didn't really care about the eight registered foreigners rule and have just axed Jota from their squad, leaving him on the sidelines. If their pursuit of Mo Salah is eventually successful, then there's little doubt Jota will move on in January.
Moussa Dembele One of the best value signings Celtic have made. The Frenchman spearheaded the first Brendan Rodgers era at Parkhead and became the scourge of Rangers as the Hoops racked up trophy after trophy. A departure was always on the cards given his scoring record and a £19.7million fee from Lyon after paying Fulham a relative pittance in development cash was a lovely bit of business.
Despite saying he wanted Tierney to stay at the club, a week later, the boyhood Celtic fan found himself training with the reserves and clearly had no future under Arteta. A season-long loan to Real Sociedad will provide regular game time and Champions League football this season, but longer term, Tierney must be thinking about his next permanent home. Newcastle appear to be off the table after they signed Lewis Hall, but plenty of big guns will be keen if they can make it work in terms of FFP.
His first season on Tyneside saw him form an effective partnership with Titus Bramble. However, second season syndrome kicked in and Boumsong was singled out for stick. However, an illness suffered by his girlfriend has to be taken into account, but he didn't hit the heights expected in black and white.
Islam Feruz The Scotland youth international, born in Somalia, was set up as the perfect rags to riches story after finding a home in Glasgow following his family's emigration from Tanzania after leaving their homeland. Spotted by Celtic as a 11-year-old during a kickabout at Castlemilk Sports Centre, he joined the Hoops academy and was playing for their Under 14s, still aged just 11.
