Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has admitted there could be Parkhead player sales if the "timing is right" to recoup a bumper transfer fee.
Celtic crashed out of the Champions League group stage without picking up a single win in Europe's elite competition, and Postecoglou insists that exits could be a vital part of helping the Scottish Premiership champions make an impact on the competition going forward. With the January transfer window just around the corner and the league going into cold storage for the World Cup, the Australian insists planning is already in place should bids come in for top stars.
When asked how important it is to sell players at the right time, Postecoglou said: "We've got to really be open minded about these things. Without putting pressure on individuals or us forcing people out, there is a natural evolution of these things where the timing is right.
"If the timing is right we won't be in fear of letting someone go because we have already planned for that. I think that has to happen. If you look at all the clubs our size who have done well at Champions League level, as in making an impact not necessarily winning the competition, all of them are always in the Champions League and have an aggressive trading model. That is how you make up ground. For us to be that sort of football club we have to be the same."
