Most Celtic supporters expected the club to take a fairly calm approach heading into the summer after another successful domestic campaign. But over the last few days, the mood among fans has suddenly started changing after several transfer links involving the club began spreading online.
Supporters originally believed the conversation around Celtic would mainly focus on celebrations, squad stability and preparations for next season. Instead, excitement has quickly started building again after reports connected the club with multiple major signings ahead of the summer rebuild.
The rumours surrounding a possible £10m striker and a highly-rated winger have especially caught the attention of supporters online.
Many fans now believe Celtic could be preparing for one of their biggest transfer windows in recent years.
Some supporters are already discussing how the new signings could completely change the squad heading into next season, especially with expectations around Europe continuing to grow.
Others, however, remain cautious and believe fans should wait until official deals are completed before getting too excited too early.
Still, the sudden increase in transfer discussions has completely changed the atmosphere around the club over the last few days.
Several supporters admitted they originally expected a much quieter summer window, particularly after the team secured another successful season domestically.
That is exactly why the latest rumours have created so much excitement.
Fans know that strong signings could help Celtic strengthen important areas of the squad while also sending a major message ahead of another huge campaign.
Meanwhile, many supporters are now closely watching every new update online as speculation around the club continues growing.
Whether the deals happen or not, one thing is already clear — Celtic fans were not expecting this level of transfer excitement to arrive so early in the summer.
