The Celtic transfer assessment Andy Walker got all wrong as he admits to 'underestimating' Ange Postecoglou

Andy Walker admits he underestimated just how good some of Celtic's signings under Ange Postecoglou would be as he applauded the boss for his wide-ranging approach to transfers.

Alistair Johnston's arrival from Montreal now takes it up to 11 different countries the Hoops have signed players from under the Australian and the vast majority have been smash hits. Giorgos Giakoumakis from the Netherlands, Jota from Portugal and Josip Juranovic from Poland have all hit the ground running and there has been a particular focus on the Japanese market with Yuki Kobayashi set to be Celtic's fifth signing from Postecoglou's old stomping ground.

Walker admits to underestimating some of the markets they have gone shopping in but believes their wide recruitment net means they won't be phased if key stars such as Juranovic do end up leaving next month. He said on Go Radio: "They've got strength in depth, they've already got a few more for the January window and I don't think they'll stop there. They might brace themselves for an offer for one or two of them, Juranovic or possibly O'Riley, but it wouldn't really matter.
