The Story in 60 Seconds

David Friel has labeled Swiss full-back Jordan Lotomba as one of the most pointless signings in Celtic's recent history, according to an opinion piece in The Sun cited by Joe McHugh. Lotomba joined Celtic late in the summer window on a deal covering his Feyenoord contract until the end of the season, but he has so far logged just 31 minutes across three substitute appearances.

Friel criticized Celtic's recruitment strategy, arguing that Lotomba will see little action and suggests the club urgently needs a sporting director. However, McHugh notes that Lotomba was brought in to provide versatile cover across both full-back spots and was selected for Celtic's Europa League squad ahead of several other recent signings.
