Chris Sutton admits he has concerns Celtic have been weakened by Ange Postecoglou’s transfer tinkering during the January window. The Hoops have snapped up Oh Hyeon-gyu to add to new arrivals Alistair Johnston, Tomoki Iwata and Yuki Kobayashi.
But Sutton fears allowing Josip Juranovic to move to Union Berlin and Giorgos Giakoumakis to go are major gambles that could backfire. Johnston has slotted into the side with minimal fuss while Kobayashi has impressed on run outs against St Mirren and Morton, with Iwata making his debut from the bench at the weekend.Oh completed his £2.5m move on Tuesday and could be in the squad to face Dundee United on Sunday.
But Parkhead hero Sutton – speaking on the Record Sport Celtic Podcast – said: “You have to ask yourself, will Celtic be stronger with Juranovic and Giakoumakis out the door? Johnston has come in and looked pretty steady, but will he be up to the level of Juranovic over a sustained period?
