  "account": "Celtic manager Martin O'Neill expressed contentment with the club's transfer dealings during the conclusion of the summer window, but also highlighted some lingering frustrations. Six of the club's ten signings arrived in the final 48 hours of the transfer window, including Joel van den Berg, Jordan Lotomba, Sam Johnstone, Oliver Sorensen, and 18-year-old Chelsea players Shim Mheuka and Landon Emenalo. However, the Chelsea players and van den Berg did not make the Europa League squad due to limited spaces.\n\nO'Neill acknowledged the difficulties in filling the squad, stating that only a few places could be filled. He expressed satisfaction with the players signed but noted that several areas of the squad still need attention, particularly the left back position due to the injury status of Kieran Tierney. O'Neill also discussed his interest in Torino midfielder Gvidas Gineitis but emphasized that the focus should be on the players he has signed, such as Lotomba, who has a short-term loan deal with the club. The manager expressed concerns about relying on loan signings and the potential impact on player development.",
