Celtic fans are also keen to see new additions after seeing Kyogo Furuhashi leave the Hoops and a number of first-team players make their Parkhead exit as Rodgers trims the squad.
However, the Glasgow giants could make a transfer no-brainer and spend £2.1m on a player Celtic icon Frank McAvennie labelled as ‘world-class’ to end the transfer window with a bang.

However, Celtic could effectively buy out the remainder of Tierney’s contract if they made the offer to Arsenal ahead of the deadline passing tonight.
