Brendan Rodgers wants to bring in quality and not squad fillers during the transfer window.
The hoops boss has brought in three new faces this month but only Vakoun Issouf Bayo cost a transfer fee.
Celtic made a trading profit of around £20m from the last transfer window to go on top of last year’s record breaking turnover which tipped just over £100m.
????? BR: “We know we have areas we want to improve on… If we’re going to bring in players, they have to be of real quality.”
More from the boss online soon. #CELSTM

Central defence is an area crying out for quality additions with Dedryck Boyata and Filip Benkovic almost certain to move on at the end of this season.
Kris Ajer and Jozo Simunovic are capable of filling in domestically but Celtic’s season is heavily geared towards the summer European qualifiers which can produce a £30m windfall.
Playing in the Champions League makes a massive difference to turnover with the benefits felt across the club right down to the re-sale value of players.
