Ange Postecoglou has issued a strong statement on Celtic being linked with stars like Cho Gue-sung.
The Hoops boss is preparing his side for a Viaplay Cup semi-final clash with Kilmarnock, who fell to defeat at Parkhead last weekend. Postecoglou will be looking to book his side's place in a consecutive League Cup final, after winning his first trophy in Glasgow in late 2021.
The Australian also addressed recent transfer links such as South Korean attacker Cho Gue-sung who appears to have been high on the Hoops' list of targets this month. There have also been reports touting top stars Josip Juranovic and Giorgos Giakoumakis to leave the club but the Celtic boss quipped that he won't be primed for action until something comes his way.

Asked on links with Gue-sung, he said: "I'm not sure who is linking us, I'm not across it all the time...I reckon around 10 per cent of what is out there at the moment is anywhere close to the truth.
"That's not because I think people are deliberately being misleading. They get information from their cousin's barber's neighbour and it becomes 'Celtic are linked' to a certain player. I don't stress about that stuff. When we are ready to do business - I think people have seen in the past - we do it. If there's an opportunity there and we feel good about it we will move quickly and get it done.
"It's the nature of the business the whole of January there will be speculation but from my perspective I don't think about it until it comes to me and that usually means there's something there. We haven't had anything like for any players up to this point."
