Postecoglou om nya spleare:
"Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou insists he is willing to wait for the "right" players as he relishes having a “clean” pre-season to prepare his squad for their title defence and return to the Champions League group stage.
Goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist is the only new arrival at Celtic so far, with Cameron Carter-Vickers having made his loan move from Tottenham permanent.
"Last year I was really keen to get people in the building and we knew we’d have a few leaving as well so it was a real hectic time,” Postecoglou told Celtic TV.
"The January window, we worked a little bit more methodically. We knew what we wanted and we got it in early. But I’m not one to rush things. It’s about getting the right players in.
"It’s not just about them as players, it’s about them as people. For that to happen, we can’t put timelines on things. Obviously the earlier we can get players in, the better but we’ve got a unique scenario of having a clean pre-season without any competitive games which is a great advantage for us"
