At left-back Celtic have Kieran Tierney arriving from Arsenal in the summer, in midfield there has been five players regularly featuring although at the weekend injuries reduced that down to three first team options.

The Sun reports:
CELTIC are lining up a summer move for Guingamp midfield powerhouse Kalidou Sidibe, according to reports.
The 6ft 6ins giant has scored two goals in 31 games this season for the French second division promotion chasers.
Paris Saint-Germain academy product Sidibe is on the brink of a national call-up from Mali – his parents’ birthplace.
Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers is thought to believe the 26-year-old is an ideal replacement for on-loan Jeffrey Schlupp, who is due to return to Crystal Palace this summer.
And African outlet?Africa Foot reports claim Celtic officials have prepared an opening £1.7million bid for Sidibe.
During Rodgers’ first spell managing Celtic there was a strong French influence through Moussa Dembele, Olivier Ntcham and Odsonne Edouard.
Celtic fans will be expecting early business this summer ahead of a Champions League Play Off tie in the last part of August.
Early summer transfer business? Not on Lawwell’s watch.
And I’d put money on that being the case.
Strange thing too me!!
Rodgers set up the team to lose….
Need Kyhygo replacement.
Need an attacking midfielder need a holding midfielder.
Rodgers is not daft!! You want glory give me.
Kieran Tierney if he watched the game on Sunday will now know what’s coming down the pipe to him next season…
And what protection (Ha fuckin Ha Ha) will be coming his way from McLean and Beaton…
