Creating chances proved a problem last season as they surrendered the title to Rangers. Hence why a transfer for Mooy can add a much needed spark to Celtic for next season.
Ryan Christie and Callum McGregor stood out with the most assists (8 and 7 respectively). However, aside from the duo, no other player provided a consistent threat in the final third.

Trusted player may well be the coach’s best bet as he looks to impress the naysayers.
