Celtic are showing no signs of bringing their summer spending to a close as Brendan Rodgers continues to improve his squad.
As one of the most successful teams in world football, the Hoops want to continue their dominance and pile more misery on their rivals.
Four players have joined Celtic this summer, the latest of those being striker Callum Osmand.
The young forward is now set to be joined by Hayato Inamura after the Japanese centre-back touched down in the UK to finalise his move.

Celtic signing Hayato Inamura for bargain price
Inamura said goodbye to Albirex Niigata fans just six months after joining them and is one step away from joining Celtic.
Sky Sports’ Anthony Joseph confirmed on Wednesday (2 July) night that the 24-year-old had arrived.
He also revealed details of the deal, reporting that a fee of £250,000 had been agreed.
Roger Hannah believes Inamura will head out on loan immediately but the signing indicates a low risk, high reward scenario.
Gustaf Lagerbielke’s pending £1.7m to Braga means they are replacing him with a cheaper alternative, who could have a clear pathway to the first team.
Brendan Rodgers promises that Celtic will be ‘doing more’ in the transfer window
Four signings is a healthy amount for Celtic and with Inamura set to become number five, that can only be praised.
However, down the road, Rangers are also recruiting heavily and Celtic cannot afford to let them close the gap.
There are still positions that need improving and the Hoops manager has promised more additions.
“We’re not needing a major overhaul of the squad, but freshness is so important,” he told Celtic TV.
“Some of these guys have been here a long time. It’s so important, even in a winning squad, that you refresh that and reset the competition in the squad. We’ve done some really good business up until now.”
