How many new players do Celtic need? Tam McManus argues that Celtic will attract a far higher level of player if they reach the Champions League - working from an A, B and C shopping list that changes depending on whether they qualify for the Champions League or drop into the Europa League. The panel say Celtic still need a goalkeeper, a centre-half, left-back and right-back cover, and a winger or striker, having started to buy finished-article players in their mid-20s with Champions League experience.
WHAT SIGNINGS DO CELTIC STILL NEED?
The panel list a goalkeeper, a centre-half, cover at left-back and right-back (with Alistair Johnston due back in two to three weeks and Colby Donovan already in), plus a winger or a striker - three or four more players.
HOW DOES THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CHANGE CELTIC'S TRANSFERS?
Reaching the Champions League lets Celtic attract better players and spend in a different market - Tam McManus says the club has an A/B/C list that shifts depending on qualification, and is now signing quality, finished-article players such as Kasper Hogh, Camilo Duran and Hassan.
