Now that the league season has drawn to a close, the next step after the Scottish Cup final will be about recruiting new players.

Chris Sutton thinks Celtic need four signings minimum this summer as they look to defend their Scottish Premiership crown.

Some Hoops players will have already made their final appearance for the club and there will be some transfer targets wanted by Brendan Rodgers that have represented their current employers for the final time.

They’ll want to end on a high and it appears one has as he braces himself for a move elsewhere.

David Strelec bags for Slovan Bratislava in their final league game

David Strelec is a name Celtic fans know very well and he is likely to be on the move in the summer.

The Slovan Bratislava forward has been in excellent form this season and in their final league game against Kosice, Strelec bagged in the first half.

He opened the scoring for Bratislava in the 15th minute as, like Celtic, they wanted to mark their title-winning campaign with three points.

Bratislava’s CEO hinted Strelec could be available on the cheap after turning down offers for the 24-year-old in January.

That strike was his 24th of the season in all competitions.

How much would Celtic have to pay for David Strelec?

Lubomir Moravcik has urged Celtic to sign Strelec and claimed he would score a ‘minimum of 20 goals’ for the Bhoys if he were to join.

It seems like it would be between him and Mathias Kvistgaarden as to which route they go down in terms of a new striker up top.

News of Strelec’s asking price being reduced means that Celtic could pay anywhere between the £5m-£7m mark to secure his services.

That would seem like good value given his goal return and he could elevate Celtic to the next level.
