Ange Postecoglou warned Celtic fans not to get sentimental over any departing Hoops heroes as Josip Juranovic edged closer to becoming the first big name through the January transfer window exit door.
The Australian confirmed the Croatian will undergo a medical with Bundesliga side Union Berlin in a deal worth around £10million and the Parkhead manager admitted it's part of a ruthless approach to comings and goings at his club which is all about the bottom line. After watching his side ease to a 5-0 Scottish Cup fourth round win over Championship side Morton, Postecoglou heaped praise on Juranovic for his service and also revealed Greek striker Giorgos Giakoumakis' departure is also imminent.
He said: "I said at the AGM we have just got to be really agile and aggressive in the transfer market if we want to make the gains we want to make. I get that it is unsettling and disconcerting, particularly for our supporters, because they love these players, and I totally understand that. But my role is to try to make decisions that I think are best for us and our continued growth as a football team, and realising when an opportunity comes along we have to be ready to take it.
