Ange Postecoglou plans to bring at least ONE more Celtic signing in this window with plans in place to counter any activity going the other way.
The Scottish champions have already been busy in this month with three signings made at the start of January. Canada World Cup star Alistair Johnston checked in from FC Montreal and was handed a baptism of fire against Rangers in the Old Firm. He's played again since and looks to have adapted from the off. Yuki Kobayashi and Tomoki Iwata have also arrived from the J-League with both yet to made first team bows as of yet but all three are expected to 'contribute' over the remainder of the season.
Talks continue to surround a number of players heading in the opposite direction. Postecoglou has addressed speculation in his press-conferences with the likes of Giorgos Giakoumakis and Josip Juranovic linked with exits. Nothing is happening at this moment in time but should anything materialise, the club are in a position to react.

The Celtic boss said: “As I’ve said all along, we’re in a position now where we’ve done some good business so far, and the three boys that have come in have adapted really well, and I think they will contribute over the course of the season.
“We’re in a position where we aren’t really being forced into doing anything, and as a coach, it’s the position I wanted us to be in. For me, it would have been a lot trickier if guys had already left and we were having to bring guys in at the last minute, so for me it is just about concentrating now on the task at hand and dealing with what is before me.
“If people exit, then we have plans in place already that will counter that, but having brought in three players already we are in a position where we aren’t on tenterhooks about who is coming in or who is leaving.
“Our plans are in place, and the plan is to bring in at least one more, so we’re still working on that and if anything else is needing to be done then we are in a good position to do it.”
