Regens 2050

First Team Squad 

A new £20m signing from Valencia ready for the 2050/2051 season, after being unhappy with the performaces of the goalkeeper brought in following the departure of Brazilian international Edson in two seasons ago.

Scotland international who came through the youth academy, given three seasons to impress but ultimately failed to fill the gloves left behind by Edson and the legacy of Raymond Dekker.

Third choice goalkeeper signed on a one year deal from Shakhtar.

The subject of many failed transfer bids from Celtic while at Hull City, the England international finally moved to Glasgow on a free transfer at the beginning of the 2049/2050 season.

Signed on a free transfer from Montpellier for the 2050/2051 season, Benali will act as back-up to Leigh O'Reilly and may feature in the domestic cup competitions.

Bought from Porto for £975k back in 2039, Jorge Costa spent time on loan at Bolton and Tottenham before cementing his place as Celtic's first choice left-back at the start of the 2043/2044 season.

Signed on a free transfer from Arsenal in the summer of 2050, Grimm will be understudy to Costa for the 2050/2051 season with a view to becoming his long-term successor.

Celtic activated Sameh Shaaban's £3m release clause in the summer of 2034, bringing the Egyptian international in from Atletico Madrid. Now Celtic vice-captain, Shaaban has made 600 appearances for the Bhoys and scored 159 goals from the centre of defence. Nine time African Player of the Year and nine time Ballon d'Or nominee.

A £1.7m purchase from Corinthians in the summer of 2048, Celtic needed to wait 18 months for Marcos Vinicius to get the clearance to join Celtic. A potential Bhoys captain of the future.

Signed from Ajax for £13.5m in 2045, the ball playing central defender has never reached the heights that many expected of him but is still an able deputy to the first choice partnership.

A new £16m signing from Liverpool, the Welsh international replaced the outgoing Serbian international Tomislav Radosevic. Celtic hope the central defender can form a valuable partnership with Marcos Vinicius going forward.

Signed from Mainz as a 14 year old, Torsten Reich was thrust into the Celtic team following a spate of injuries at the beginning of the 2048/2049 season and has remained first choice anchorman ever since.

A new £8m signing from Everton, Grant Rimmer made his debut for the Toffees as a 15 year old and helped the club to promotion back to the Premier League in 2049/2050. Will rival Torsten Reich for a spot in defensive midfield in the long term.

A mainstay in the Celtic side ever since his £4.5m move from Benfica in January 2044, subject of interest from Tottenham in the summer of 2050 - Flavio Sa remains an important part of the Celtic team in the centre of midfield.

A ball winning midfielder signed from Celtic's feeder club Dinamo Zagreb, fitness issues and injury problems have limited Matej Grgic's stake for a place in the Celtic starting line-up.

Bought from Partick Thistle for £3.9m in the summer of 2050 after a string of impressive sides in the Scottish Premier League, Juan Murillo will offer depth in midfield for Celtic - something that was missing as the side failed to claim the 2049/2050 title.

An England international signed from Manchester United for £12m in 2047, Adrian Jones is a deep-lying playmaker who alternates in midfield with Gustavo Britos.

Bought for £3.5m from Velez in 2043, the Argentine international has been an important part of Celtic's team ever since but fitness issues have meant that Britos has never played more than 25 games a season in the Scottish Premier League.

The subject of long term interest from Celtic, they finally captured Denis Leclercq in 2049 for £6m but suffered a knee ligament injury almost immediately. Is tipped to be the midfield successor to Jones and Britos.

Celtic's record signing when he was bought for £20m from Sunderland in 2042, has gone on to make 285 appearance for Celtic and scored 143 goals from the right hand side of midfield. He was awarded with the Ballon d'Or in 2048 after a string of amazing performances for both Celtic and England.

Ruben Saez was signed for £6m from Sturm Graz as back-up to Charlie Hook, has chipped in with some important goals and turned his back on his native Spain to become a full Argentina international. A World Cup winner in 2050.

A £9.25m signing from Ajax after Celtic activated his release clause in 2047, will now look to cement his place in the Celtic team after being used in rotation with Belgium international Eddy-Tim Claesen who left for Tottenham in the summer of 2050.

Signed as back-up to Anthony Amofah in a £7m deal from cash stapped Stade Malherbe Caen, he will be used from the bench and will likely feature in domestic cup competitions.

Another former Caen player, Mathias Mesnil was brought in on a free transfer as an 18 year old in 2037, he was back-up to club legend Ivica Strok before taking on the goal scoring mantle in 2042. Has gone on to feature in 329 Scottish Premier League matches, finding the net 363 times. A three time Ballon d'Or winner.

Bought for £10.5m from Fenerbache in 2047, Mehmet Ali Demerican will look to be Mathias Mesnil's heir when the French international finally retires. Has already racked up 90 appearances for Celtic, scoring 49 times.

A free transfer from Sevilla, Gildo Serrano is Puerto Rico's star man and chipped in with important goals throughout the 2049/2050 season. A hit at Southampton when on loan in the Premier League, Manchester City attempted to take him back there with a rejected £17m bid in the summer of 2050.

A product of Celtic's youth academy, there remain high hopes for Gavin Main at the club but he needs to find his goalscoring touch if he is to surpass Mehmet Ali Demerican and Gildo Serrano as Mathias Mesnil's long term successor in the centre forward role. 

Out On Loan 

A potential successor in the first team for Sameh Shaaban, he is currently on loan at Dundee United where he will seek to get a foothold in the Scottish Premier League.

Signed in 2049 as back-up to Jorge Costa, Yunus Elfadl will spend the 2050/2051 season on loan at Lyon where he will hope to impress enough to get a shot in the first team when he returns to Celtic next year.

An £8m signing from Tours when he was still only 16, there are big expectations for Cephas Nyamadzawo at Celtic and he will have the chance to impress while on loan back in his native France with CS Sedan Ardennes.

Celtic have a rich history of getting the very best out of Croatian strikers and Goran Boban will look to continue that tradition. Spending a second successive season on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, he will look to continue the form that saw him score 13 goals in the Premier League last year.
