Ange Postecoglou will look to keep up Celtic's relentless form when the league action gets back underway after the international break.
Steve Clarke has earned plenty of plaudits for Scotland's Euro 2024 victory over Spain, but Postecoglou will have been planning his own achievements while the national team takes centre stage. With the Viaplay Cup already in the Celtic Park trophy cabinet, the pursuit of a second consecutive Scottish Premiership crown will resume against Ross County as the Hoops look to maintain their nine point lead at the top of the pile.
A Treble is on the cards this season with Celtic on the road to the Scottish Cup final, but Rangers boss Michael Beale will look to derail any plans for a domestic clean sweep when they face off at Hampden. The Australian will also be planning for a summer transfer turnaround with plenty of incomings and outgoings on the cards this summer.
What is the latest before the club action gets back underway? Record Sport takes a look.
Oh earns Klinsmann seal of approval
South Korea boss Jurgen Klinsmann has pledged to keep a close eye on Celtic star Hyeongyu Oh when he returns to Parkhead.
The Parkhead frontman appeared from the bench in a 2-2 friendly draw with Colombia and made a substitute appearance in defeat to Uruguay - where he saw a goal ruled out for a narrow offside call. He's netted three times for Ange Postecoglou's side since moving to the Premiership from Suwon Bluewings in January - and Klinsmann looks set to launch a scouting mission with his interest peaked in the frontman.
The 21-year-old was singled out for praise by the boss, who told Dailian when assessing his attacking options: “I think Hyeongyu Oh in particular will be a good player. He’s hungry for goals. We’ll have to see what he looks like in the coming weeks.”
Wanyama in cheeky Johnston advice
Former Celtic hero Victor Wanyama has revealed he told pal Alistair Johnston he had to "go to the gym" if he agreed to move to Parkhead. The pair played together during Johnston's time at the CF Montreal, with Johnston dubbing the Celtic fan favourite "agent Victor" for the role he played in talking up the Scottish giants. The Kenyan midfielder told The Celtic View podcast: "Alistair, what a player first of all, and what a man.
"Besides football, he’s a very good human being. He asked me about Celtic and I told him everything. [I told him] that’s the place to be.
"Since then I couldn’t stop telling him about Celtic. I pushed him there and I was happy that he made that move. I’m also happy seeing him perform well every weekend. I still support the Bhoys so I’m happy when they do well.
“I try to follow every game. Some of them are very early in the morning but I still try to watch. The Bhoys are doing well so I told Alistair that he had to go to the gym so that he can be ready to lift a lot of trophies. He was not used to that. Now he has to get used to it, so he needs more gym so he is able to lift the trophies.”
Ajeti set for Parkhead return
Albian Ajeti has failed to justify his £5million price tag that saw him move from West Ham to Celtic Park, and has struggled to make his mark in the Postecoglou era. After a season on the fringes of the squad, he was shipped out on loan to Sturm Graz.
After a bright start to life in Austria, injuries have derailed the striker's season and the Sturm will reportedly not exercise the option to buy in the deal after a return of just four goals this term. Austrian outlet Abseits report that the "situation is clear" after the striker has "been injured for a while" leaving the Switzerland cap preparing for a return to Glasgow.
