Ange Postecoglou has revealed Celtic are working hard behind the scenes on a 'couple' of transfers.
The Hoops have already been busy ahead of the January transfer window with the arrivals of Alistair Johnston from CF Montreal and highly-regarded defender Yuki Kobayashi from the J-League. The 57-year-old has always stated his desire to get his business done as early as possible since his arrival in Glasgow and this window seems no different.
The Celtic boss hopes to have some news in the 'next week or so' over potential deals and has stated that with the chance of players leaving the club they may well need to react and bring in further fresh faces. Josip Juranovic is one who has been linked with a big money move away after impressing for Croatia at the World Cup. Barcelona have been reported to be ready to make an approach while La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid and a couple of English clubs are also keen. Stephen Welsh is another who has reported interest in his services.

Speaking to the BBC ahead of Celtic's 2-1 win over Livingston, Postecoglou said: "I've said all along that we are constantly working.
"We're not even into January yet and I'm really pleased with the two lads that we've brought in so far.
"It's fair to say that we're working on a couple of others and when they drop depends on how things go.
"That doesn't mean it's done because in January, there's always the potential for outgoings and we'll have to react if that happens.
"Hopefully in the next week or so we'll be able to make some further inroads."
