Ange Postecoglou has outlined his Celtic transfer vision - and delivered a quip regarding his wife's shopping.
The Hoops boss says he always knows what he's looking for when he 's recruiting players, and likened that to when his other half enters a shop.
The former Australia manager says that approach makes it easier to recruit well, and also for players to bed in when they arrive.
Speaking to Australian outlet Stan Sport, Postecoglou said: “It comes to me having a real clear idea of how you want the game to be played.
“I’ve often said I could go into a shop with my wife and she’ll know exactly what to pick and buy - I’ve got no idea.
“When I go looking for players I’m the same. I’ve got a real clear idea. When I see what I want I picture them in my team and when they fit that picture most of the time it works.
“It comes back to the first thing is that I have absolute clarity about how I want my team to play.
“What quality each player should have in each position and that should make it easier for the players as well because they’ve already got some of the things I’m looking for so their adjustment period becomes quicker.
“The players I’ve brought in have hit the ground running and people ask why so quickly but it’s because I already know they’ve go the attributes I’m looking for and the rest is just understanding the gameplay.
“In terms of the Japanese players, it was about treating them as individuals because sometimes those stereotypical things we think about in life in general don’t ring true and the four boys I’ve brought over are totally different people and different types of players.”
