Ange Postecoglou bats off Celtic transfer questions in Josip Juranovic response

Ange Postecoglou insists Celtic have received no offers or interest in Josip Juranovic or any other squad member ahead of the January transfer window.

The Croatian full-back has been the subject of increased speculation in recent weeks after he starred at the World Cup to land a third-place medal with his country.

Barcelona were the latest team to be quoted as interested yesterday, while there is also said to be Premier League interest from down south.

Postecoglou refused to be drawn to the reports in his pre-Livingston press conference as he looked ahead to the Premiership fixture.

He said: "All this speculation. What I can tell you now is that we don't have an offer for any player.

"People can talk about offers and clubs wanting but I can't spend my time chasing shadows of what is in the press every morning. I would be spending my whole day talking to players.

"What I see is what is before me at training every day, if players have things put in front of them about their future I am sure they will come and see me and Michael will speak to their representatives. 

"But right now there is nothing, zero, zip, nada, nothing going on."

He continued: "I don't have any sort of confidence or lack of confidence about our players.

"They are all here and they are all training. Josip isn't back yet, he had a great World Cup, he was brilliant and credit to him.

"He has a memory now that he will have forever. He represented our football club really well as did all our boys at the World Cup.

"He has a week off now and then he will be back training next week and will be ready to go."
