Ange Postecoglou when asked if
#Celtic
will consider transfer offers for Josip Juranovic in January: "You started with an 'if' and I'll give you an 'if' back. If it stops snowing I'll be able to drive home without having to get out of my car."
If you did this at fives - and I have many times - you’d get a hammering. Really poor from Lundstram who you’d expect would’ve thrown himself into that 50/50.
All the talk before the game was about Cameron Carter-Vickers and no wonder, he’s been excellent for Celtic from day dot. But Moritz Jenz was absolutely outstanding tonight and unlucky to lose his clean sheet in the end.
Really poor finishing has cost
#Celtic
this tournament.
Nicolas Kuhn's agent, Fabian Dingler, and Christian Nerlinger were met by
#Celtic
reps at Glasgow Airport.
Kuhn himself was whisked away airside to avoid crowd. £2.8million deal agreed and essentially just scarf above the head picture announcement to come.
@Football_Scot
Celtic are fully focused on Sead Haksabanovic. Medical is very close.
Interest has progressed very quickly.
As for Jani Atanasov, nothing in pipeline, as far as we understand.
@Football_Scot
Celtic business finished with just Oliver Abildgaard to be unveiled.
Mikey Johnston still to finalise Vitoria Guimaraes loan exit and club open to late James McCarthy offers but as things stand, no movement.

EXCLUSIVE! Moritz Jenz set for season-long Celtic loan switch from Lorient to join Aaron Mooy at Parkhead
Hoops wanted player last year before he left Lausanne-Sport. Option to buy still being negotiated between clubs
@Football_Scot
Ben Doak is a seriously exciting prospect for Scotland. Have to imagine the £600k or so
#CelticFC
got for him will look like pennies down the line. Already does, if we’re honest.
🚨 Informed there's never been any contact between Celtic and Donny van de Beek's reps.
Not a surprise considering his price tag and wage expectations. GK and winger wanted this summer.
Do believe
#CelticFC
will spend big, though.
@Football_Scot
🚨 Maik Nawrocki has completed his
#CelticFC
medical ahead of five-year deal from Legia Warsaw.
He's in Glasgow and expect announcement to come this week.
@Football_Scot
🚨 Celtic were keen before Ange Postecoglou arrived in 2021 and have reignited that interest.
They're checking with Gremio this week on their asking price.
He wants move to Parkhead.
Should clarify, he's played predominantly wide left but is versatile and can play striker.
The player won’t travel to Turkey with Rapid for their training camp.
#CelticFC
made it clear to Kuhn he was their prime target and they’ve pushed to make it happen.
If this is indeed the game scouts have chosen to show up for Josip Juranovic, you’ve got to expect
#CelticFC
fielding calls tomorrow. Excellent so far.
Celtic expect to land Nicolas Kuhn this window, which is a wide position filled.
Striker and left-back still being looked at, lots of players offered by agencies, but scouting team still going through due diligence.
Tiago Araujo was called on in Nov, but it’s been crickets since.
Oli Pfeiffer has left his position as head of partnership management at Rangers after he was pictured in the away end celebrating Liverpool's 7-1 win in midweek

Tomoki Iwata has no chance there, none. How that’s a penalty is beyond me, he doesn’t even know where the ball is.
Referee and VAR having a brutal game here.
It is my understanding Josip Juranovic
#Celtic
talks have been put on hold as club seriously considering selling player after World Cup to maximise profit.
Contract could still potentially be signed but it will be assessed by the club after tournament.
@Football_Scot
🚨It’s always been about Rapid finding a replacement for Kuhn.
#Celtic
know that, it’s a waiting game but the feeling on both sides - as is clear in report - is that player likely to be in Glasgow next week.
“Haggling” is no issue as when Rapid give go ahead, it’ll be done.
Understand Jonny Williams WANTS Hibs move tonight. Swindon not budging at the moment but there's still time.
Hibs were keen and did approach and while they've cooled their interest to an extent, if opportunity presents itself again tonight it's one they'll take.
@Football_Scot
🚨 Idah and reps were actively speaking with Verona before
#Celtic
arrived at table. Player changed mind when he heard of their interest and pushed for Parkhead.
@StaceyDevlinx
Celtic working hard on a left-back. GT injury accelerated it, they want one for sure. Another striker in would be in ideal world but attention has turned to defender for now.
I'd heard Celtic were interested in Szymon Włodarczyk of Gornik Zabrze. Faced a lot of competition. Podolski's favourite teammate. There was a period it was close and Celtic knew £3.5m was fee club wanted. No movement since initial approach and Cho now priority.
@Football_Scot
For anyone who has taken this wrong way: Celtic have wanted a left-back since before window opened, as my report on Tiago Araujo and Owen Beck has highlighted. Since Taylor’s injury was confirmed, it’s been an even stronger push.
@StaceyDevlinx
Celtic working hard on a left-back. GT injury accelerated it, they want one for sure. Another striker in would be in ideal world but attention has turned to defender for now.
Hibs have accepted a £2.2m offer with add ons from Millwall for Kevin Nisbet. They also inserted a sell-on.
Fans worried about it being a much smaller fee can rest easy.
More to come
@Football_Scot
Yet to be totally sold on Daizen Maeda. Offers
#Celtic
a lot of hard work but his actual technical quality on the ball leaves a lot to be desired. I think Haksabanovic would provide more of a spark and it's needed tonight, for me.
Ryan Porteous shut a lot of folk up tonight. Absolutely brilliant at the heart of Scotland’s defence.
Disciplined performance from the full squad and they can enjoy the night with a Euro 2024 playoff secured. Bring on League A!
Ross Barkley to
#CelticFC
rumours swirl but as far as my understanding goes, nothing has changed.
Checked it out last time and, dare I say, heard a giggle down the phone. If anything changes
@Football_Scot
has you covered.
Celtic were obviously keen before the World Cup but their interest waned after Suwon named player “indispensable”.
They’ve gone back in again and I believe this could be sorted within next few days.
@Football_Scot
For clarification following inaccurate rips of this article, Larsson was not “uninterested” in Celtic.
Information I’ve learned is from the club’s side.
🟢 Targets not approached since November
🟢 Various capable players offered and knocked back from top Euro leagues
🟢 Owen Beck Liverpool wait disappointment
🟢 Loan dash
@Football_Scot
Key element to note is
#RangersFC
have not yet made concrete bid while
#CelticFC
have been in negotiations for a while.
Hoops still in very strong position.
🚨 Excl: Celtic approached Brondby early in mid-January about Mathias Kvistgaarden but were told no sale.
Adam Idah only on loan with no option. Will be interesting to see if they move in summer.

@Football_Scot
🚨 Sticking with Celtic:
Mohamed Reda is on radar as reported by
@AnthonyRJoseph
but two clubs are ahead of them in pursuit.
Also informed this week that there has been no contact from
#CelticFC
for Fabian Rieder.
He has "a lot of concrete" offers - none Celtic at this time.
🚨 Celtic were keen before Ange Postecoglou arrived in 2021 and have reignited that interest.
They're checking with Gremio this week on their asking price.
He wants move to Parkhead.
Should clarify, he's played predominantly wide left but is versatile and can play striker.
If reports from today are true, it’s an absolute disgrace that Arsenal and West Ham have urged Hibs to HALF their asking price for Josh Doig.
When tens of millions are spent on duds because they play down south, it’s dreadful to make Hibs pay for bringing through a top talent.
Hearts working behind the scenes to get at least one more in the door.
They want a centre-half and an attacking wide player but might be too tight to do both tonight. Could be a freebie after the window shuts they look to.
@Football_Scot
#HeartsFC
#DeadlineDay
Ajeti joining Sturm Graz represents a good bit of business for
#CelticFC
with the buy option, all things considered.
If club can get one more in the door before window closes it has to go down as a very good summer.
