It's all about shoring things up for a crack at the Champions League now as Celtic prepare for another big season under Ange Postecoglou.
The Aussie's debut in Scotland could hardly have gone much better with a Premiership and League Cup double restoring them as Scotland's top dogs.
But getting to the top is one thing, staying there is another and Celtic know more than anyone the perils of standing still after a successful season.
They'll be out to add depth and quality this summer while retaining the likes of Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers is also high on the list of priorities.
In the case of the Portuguese winger, it's beginning to seem like a matter of if rather than when Jota will return to Celtic on a permanent basis.
He's been seen holidaying with his Parkhead teammates while reports in Portugal all point to a deal being struck in the days ahead.
The latest from A Bola even says it is "practically confirmed" with the winger seemingly keen on Champions League football in green and white.
It seems interest is there from all ends on getting the deal done and it's just a matter of dotting the i's and crossing the t's.
The left side of defence is one area where Celtic lack depth and it seems Postecoglou is intent on addressing that this summer.
Mohanad Jeahze has been a long-term reported target and he set up Hammarby's winner over the weekend as they ended their winless run with a 3-0 rout over Norrkoping.
He continues to be linked although both Hammarby and Ange Postecoglou himself have played it down.
Francisco Ortega has emerged as an alternative option in that position.
The Velez Sarsfield star does a bit of everything and his tough tackling yet relentlessly attacking style makes it easy to see why Celtic may be eyeing him up.
He's under contract until the start of 2025 however meaning he is likely to be the more expensive of the two options.
