Celtic are still searching for defensive reinforcements. The Scottish champions are reportedly prepared to offload Gustaf Lagerbielke, Maik Nawrocki, and Yuki Kobayashi, which would significantly thin their defensive options.
With Celtic aiming to bolster their squad, attention will remain on finding a suitable upgrade for Liam Scales.
