Ange Postecoglou says you can lump Tomoki Iwata in with list of names who have been linked with Celtic in recent weeks - for now - as he repeated his "let's see what Santa brings" quip.
The Parkhead side are believed to be interested in Iwata who has been one of the standout midfielders in the J-League this season and his imminent arrival comes as Oliver Abildgaard looks set to leave the club early. Meanwhile Yosuke Ideguchi, who joined alongside Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate last January, is another who could be heading for the exit.
When asked on Christmas Eve about the Hoops' interest in Yokahama F. Marinos midfielder Iwata, he joked fans will just need to wait and see what Santa brings. But it seems he's running late as Postecoglou said ahead of Wednesday's clash with Hibs: "No, you can just add him to the list (of names). We'll see what Santa brings, mate."
