Tom Boyd insists Celtic's Champions League cash boost can help them bring in transfer targets earlier.
Ange Postecoglou impressed in the market last season with his wheeling and dealing and the Hoops hero reckons the Aussie boss is the perfect man to do it again.
Kyogo Furuhashi, Joe Hart, Josip Juranovic, Matt O'Riley, Liel Abada and Cameron Carter-Vickers are just a few of those who hit the ground running at Parkhead.
The latter has now joined on a permanent deal from Tottenham following his successful loan spell, while the club are working to bring Jota back on a permanent deal.

Boyd has full faith and trust in Postecoglou to work his magic once again as he bids to strengthen Celtic ahead of defending their Premiership crown that they recaptured from Rangers last season and a crack at Europe's elite.
He said: “I trust him. That’s what managers are judged on. The players they bring into the club and can they make an impact?
“Unfortunately, a couple of years ago, the players we brought in didn’t have that impact and that is one of the reasons why we didn’t win the league.
“Now you look at what Ange has done and every player that he has brought in has made a massive impact to help us win the league and a cup.

“What he is doing, he is doing right and that is why we trust what he is doing.
“The adjustment of style, the formation which was alien to many of us at the start was working by the end of the season by winning the league and getting us into the Champions League proper.
“That’s the faith we have in the manager and because he has done it. And it has given us that confidence to go into next season hoping he can bring in more better players.
“It’s the best time to try and do it. You are guaranteed that bit of money from the Champions League, so you can go out and do that a little earlier.
“Maybe that helped us get Cameron done and we’re looking for more players.
“The one thing I would say is that so is everyone else, but, hopefully, we can find some gems along the way.
“We want to improve in every transfer window and, up until now, he has been able to create that in terms of the players he has brought in. They have been able to make an impact.
“But where we go and what players come in? We put our faith in the manager.
“They know and have a better outlook than we see. If we see a player who is linked with them, the due diligence has been done well before that by the club.”
