Jackie McNamara has urged Celtic fans not to worry about deadline day sales of stars such as Odsonne Edouard.
The Frenchman left Celtic Park at the end of the window to join Crystal Palace while Ryan Christie completed a move to Bournemouth on the same day.
It comes after Scott Brown and Kristoffer Ajer also left the club over the course of the summer but former Hoops skipper McNamara has seen it all before.
He witnessed big changes in 1997 when Wim Jansen took charge and Jorge Cadete, Paolo Di Canio and Pierre van Hooijdonk had all left the club.
Fans were concerned over where the next big name was coming from at a time when Rangers were chasing 10 In A Row, but Celtic made big signings to win back the league and end the dominance of the Ibrox side.
Henrik Larsson turned into the biggest of those signings and that's why McNamara isn't too worried by the summer exits, because there's always someone to step in.
He said: "When Wim came in, I don't think anybody gave us a chance of ending Rangers' dominance. We had lost Cadete, Di Canio and van Hooijdonk. They had all gone. There was a big cloud hanging over the fans when that happened.
"Paolo was a unique character. I got on well with him. He was charismatic. He wasn't shy! It was great for me to play with somebody like him. I feel very lucky to have played with the likes of Paul McStay, Henrik, Lubo and Chris Sutton in my 10 year spell at Celtic. I was very fortunate.
"Anyway, when Jorge, Paolo and Pierre left the fans were wanting to know who the next superstar going to be. They were asking: 'Who is the next top player coming in?' It was difficult for the club to replace them because they were big supporters' favourites.
"Recruitment is always difficult at Celtic. I saw some unbelievable players come in when I was there. But when you go out on the park and there are 60,000 people there some of them can't handle it. But, of course, Henrik arrived. It was great to be involved."
