Another day, another big transfer story.

As Ange looks to the Asian markets to help strengthen the Celtic side in January (and by God do we need them), The Daily Record grabbed an interview with what they call an Australian insider.

Lawrie McKinna is a former Kilmarnock player who went to Australia back in 1986 and faced Postecoglou as a coach in charge of Tom Rogic’s old side Central Coast Mariners and Newcastle Jets.

Speaking about Postecoglou, McKinna claims that he knows Ange more than most in the Australian game but also dropped two names the the Celtic gaffer should be looking at, “Mooy would be perfect for Ange’s system – attacking midfielder who wins tackles and sets up chances.

“Fantastic set-piece player and I hear his family are already in Glasgow.

“I’d be amazed if they haven’t had a few quiet discussions.

“Another one Ange could look at is Adam Taggart. He’s exactly the sort of finisher Ange doesn’t already have and he’s done well in Asia in strong leagues… always in the right place.”

Aaron Mooy has been linked with Celtic for a considerable amount of time now but a massive stumbling block could be the salary demands. Reportedly on massive money in the Chinese league, it may be difficult to tempt him to take a wage cut.

But with Mooy’s wife being from Glasgow, there could be hope that he could be persuaded to make the move.

Adam Taggart is an Australian international. Predominantly a centre forward, Taggart scoring record isn’t the best with 88 goals in 212 appearance’s over his career that has spanned mainly the Japanese and Korean leagues although he did have a brief spell in Scotland with Dundee United making just seven appearances, scoring none.
