Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou joked chief executive Michael Nicholson wasn't answering his calls but, in truth, the current set-up appears in no rush to push for last-gasp deals.
The Parkhead boss has preached the value of pre-planning and even noted in November he was on to targets for the summer of 2023. The days of marquee arrivals such as Robbie Keane and Craig Bellamy rocking up appear a thing of the past. That's not to say the January window hasn't been productive for the Premiership champions – Reo Hatate, Daizen Maeda, Matt O'Riley, Giakoumakis and Yuki Kobayashi have proven winter warmers.
And it's likely a case of departures rather than arrivals for a Celtic side who have remained relatively injury free with Anthony Ralston the only current first-team on the treatment table. That’s not to say we’re ruling out any incomings. We noted Postecoglou’s comments last week. But who could be likely to say goodbye to Glasgow's east end – either on a temporary or permanent basis – on Tuesday?
