| 15/02/11
| FC Volga
| 15/02/11
| A favourite of the support and a player with clear technical ability who simply appeared to fall off Neil Lennon and the coaching staff's radar. He left to seek first team football with newly promoted Russian side FC Volga |
| Artur Boruc | 12/07/05 | GK | 15/07/10 | Fiorentina | 15/07/10 | The Holy Goalie had a seaon left on his contract . In early July '10 rumours surfaced that he was off to Fiorentina however this all hinged on cost and his demand for a £700k pay off from Celtic. He didn't go on the tour to the USA. He left on 15/7/10 for a fee somewhere between £1.3mill and £3.0mill the figure not being disclosed. |
Stephen McManus
| 09/07/03 | CD | 12/07/10 | Middlesbrough | 12/07/10 | Increasingly shown up to be the Hoof part of the H&H central defender partnership; had spent most of 09/10 season on loan w Strachan at Middlesbrough. Even though he had made it to captain Celtic and was indeed a nice guy there is no doubt that if a decent central defender had been available he would not have been playing in the Hoops. |
| Zheng Zhi | 02/09/09 | MF | 01/07/10 | Guangzhou Evergrande | 01/07/10 | Only ever a fringe player and probably one foisted on Mowbray by marketing men who thought it would be a good commercial ploy to sign a Chinese. Never really was good enough or made a position his own for long enough. Sold for just under £500k (736k USD) |
| Landry N'Guemo | 13/07/09 | MF | 30/05/10 | AS Nancy Lorraine | 01/07/05 | Eventually came as a loan for the season with chance to buy; Celtic chose not to take the option at the price offered. |

31/1/11
| 02/02/09 | A loan signing for Celtic in the latter part of Mowbray's tenure; kept the belief alive by scoring a hatful but returned to Tottenham.
Any suggestions of his signing being a cynical move to continue to win funding and interest in Ireland would be ..... err well ... errrr |
