Signed From: AC Milan Fee: £3m It's not often a player of the calibre usually associated with AC Milan will be convinced to swap the bright lights and glitter of the Italian league to come to Scotland, but that's precisely what happened as the 26-year-old Italian was brought in as Neil Lennon's replacement in June 2007. His start wasn't bad, but as that first season drew onwards, Donati badly lost form and was dropped in favour of Barry Robson, amidst rumours that he wanted to high-tail it back to Italy. The next year he made only a handful of appearances, but he saw his stock rise with the appointment of Tony Mowbray who clearly fancied him a bit more as a player. He played all of the pre-season, impressively so, and had started to show some form at the start of the season, which is precisely when Celtic decided to cash in their chips on him and sell him to Bari, after only 13 performances in his last 18 months at the club.
