This has been an exhausting story to say the least.
The will he, won’t he join the Hoops has had more ups and downs than a rollercoaster and it seems to be now heading abruptly on the up to hit its conclusion at some point over the next day or so.
Reports are circulating today that Celtic are confident of securing the signature of Josip Juranovic and that he could be a Celtic player by this weekend.
Earlier I had reported that an initial big of £2m had been rejected by Legia Warsaw but now it seems that negotiations have been rapid as the Hoops look to have the deal sealed very soon.
Celtic gaffer, Ange Postecoglou has always been keen to strengthen this area of the team and whilst he recognises the superb job Anthony Ralston has been doing for the team, cover is still required, “It’s obviously an area where we definitely need some cover.
“At the moment Anthony Ralston is doing an outstanding job and I think there’s more in him to improve.
“But he can’t play every game.
“So it’s definitely an area we need to strengthen and it’s an area we are targeting and I’m hoping for us to add to, but to nail it down to one person, that’s not how it’s been working.”
Celtic fans will be desperate to see incomings as the window deadline looms but they will also be on tenterhooks with excitement as they await further gems to be unearthed by their Aussie gaffer.
