Chris Sutton has outlined the importance of Paul Tisdale's role at Celtic ahead of the summer transfer window.
The self-proclaimed 'football doctor' was appointed to a senior role at Parkhead in October last year, taking charge of the club's footballing operations.
Tisdale is rarely in the public eye, with his work spanning across Celtic's academy, first team and most notably, recruitment.
Indeed, transfers in and out are always a key talking point for every club, and Sutton reckons Tisdale needs to get to work ahead of the summer.

He said [Record]: "Celtic are in a superb position in that they pretty much know the title is in the bag.
"That means the Champions League planning has to be happening now. Who knows what kind of backing Rangers will get from the 49ers as well.
"Celtic brought in Paul Tisdale to sort out the recruitment after Rodgers admitted in recent years it hasn’t been up to scratch.
"Well, now we’ll find out what the football doctor is all about. Rodgers has his work cut out to achieve again next season – and it will be far from easy."
It remains to be seen where Celtic will look to strengthen this summer.
Kieran Tierney is returning to the club having agreed a pre-contract, immediately beefing up the left-back area.
Rodgers' men will likely have a crucial Champions League play-off to contend with at the beginning of the campaign, too, as the Celtic boss ponders potential arrivals.
