The transfer window deadline is now fast approaching and as the hours deals are hotting up in the Scottish Premiership.
Celtic have already added Kasper Schmeichel, Adam Idah, Viljami Sinisalo and Paulo Bernardo, while Álex Valle has joined on a season long-loan from Spanish giants Barcelona earlier this week. More incomings are expected though, with the Hoops linked to at several transfers ahead of deadline day.
In terms of outgoings, Matt O’Riley’s departure has handed the Hoops a huge boost to their transfer kitty, with English Premier League side Brighton forking out £26million for his services. With Champions League money also adding to their budget, Brendan Rodgers certainly has cash to spend as the hours tick down on deadline day. But what would his ideal starting XI look like, if he could secure every signing he’d like to?
Here, we take a look at how Rodgers dream starting XI could look if the deadline day transfer rumours turn out to be true:
9. RM: Arne Engels
The FC Augsburg star could break Celtic's transfer record, should he complete a move to Glasgow. The Hoops have had two offers rejected in the window, with the Bundesliga club searching for a fee closer to £10million. Can play anywhere on the right, and in central midfield and Celtic would love to add him the their squad. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
10. LW: Nicolas Kuhn
Could the arrival of Engels see the German move onto the opposite flank? Kuhn has been in unstoppable form this season and would have to be included in any Celtic XI based on his displays so far. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
11. CF: Kyogo Furuhashi
Linked to a £20million move to Manchester City last week, Brendan Rodgers will be keen to keep the Japanese marksman at Celtic Park. With the hours ticking down, it appears he is likely to stay. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
