Ange Postecoglou has Celtic transfers lined up as he addresses viral Australia dressing room video

Ange Postecoglou has revealed Celtic have at least a 'couple' of January transfers lined up.

The Hoops have been in relentless form this season as they bid to retain the Premiership crown they won from Rangers last season. They currently sit nine points ahead of the Light Blues - who sacked manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst on Monday - and still have the two domestic cups to compete for when the top flight action resumes.

The Scottish Premiership is currently in cold storage for the World Cup finals taking place in Qatar. Postecoglou will keep a keen eye on his Celtic stars who are representing their countries, while he admits it is an event that you end up 'engrossed in' when it starts. The 57-year-old will use this time to plan ahead with the winter window just around the corner.

A couple of new faces have already been identified as he admits to liking his business organised nice and early. Although he concedes that is not always the case with such transfers like Matt O'Riley happening really quickly across three days after the opportunity to get the deal completed appeared suddenly.

The Celtic gaffer said: "I’ll watch it. It’s one of those events you get engrossed in when it comes around. There are always great stories and we’ve got a few participants in there.

"There might be a couple of others I’m looking at as well.

"It’s fair to say there’s a couple lined up.

"It’s how we’ve done things and how I believe we need to be. It’s how I’m built. I don’t like rushing around last minute. It’s not always the case. Matt O’Riley we did in three days last year.

"We saw an opportunity and moved really quickly. We need to be agile when we need to and when we don’t, we can methodically plan to make sure we get things done.

"If we can get guys early, once January 1 hits they are already part of this football club."

On the viral video doing the rounds of him raging at his Australia squad during his national team days, he added: "I’m sure there will be footage of me here.

"I’m passionate about what I do and I’m not afraid to show it if need be. It’s not on a weekly basis, it’s kind of selected and it’s done hopefully to make an impact.

"All along I've just tried to be who I am and that's it."
