Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has made a real habit of being quick to get his transfer business completed as early as possible in terms of potential incoming, while he acknowledges some players will be moved on this summer.

The Hoops boss has reiterated he is “always alert” when it comes to identifying possible signing targets as he prepares to lead his fifth window as Hoops boss. Uncertainty remains over how many arrivals we could see at Parkhead during the close season and a number of key players will undoubtedly attract interest from clubs across the globe.

Alistair Johnston, Yuki Kobayashi, Tomoki Iwata and Oh Hyeon-gyu all headed in the opposite direction to bolster the squad and playing important roles during the second half of the season to date.

Postecoglou will once again be aiming to emerge from his summer transfer activity in a stronger place than they found themselves in as he explained plans are already in place to add further competition in certain areas.

He stated earlier this month: “The goal is the same in every transfer window. We want to come out of it stronger than we go into it. We have to be ready for that and make sure that come the end of the window we are in a better position than we were going into it.
