Celtic fly out to the USA this week for three high profile friendlies against DC United, Manchester City and Chelsea without having made any signings since the Transfer Window opened.
Kasper Schmeichel is believed to be in negotiations over joining the hoops but against that Joe Hart, Paulo Bernardo and Adam Idah are missing from the squad that won the Scottish Cup on May 25 at Hampden.
