Ange Postecoglou in definitive Celtic transfer verdict as he reveals what to expect before the deadline

Ange Postecoglou believes Celtic 's inbound transfer business is likely over for January.

But the Parkhead boss expects more players to leave before Monday night's deadline

He's snapped up no fewer than five new signings in Daizen Maeda, Reo Hatate, Yosuke Ideguchi, Johnny Kenny and Matt O'Riley.

Going the opposite way, Leigh Griffiths' contract was terminated and it's expected the likes of Vasilis Barkas, Albian Ajeti and Boli Bolingoli could follow the striker through the exit door.

As far as more arrivals is concerned, Postecoglou made himself clear.

He said: "No, I wouldn't be expecting anyone else in."

But he confirmed departures remain a possibility, with permanent transfers and loan deals for academy stars very much on the table.

Postecoglou added: "Still working on loan opportunities for a few of our boys. I expect there will be some sort of activity between now and end of window. It might even go beyond that."

Ajeti has been linked with a return to FC Basel while there's been reported interest in Barkas from Sweden after a move south to Sheffield United broke down.
