Celtic need to replace another midfielder between now and the end of the summer transfer window, according to former Hoops striker Frank McAvennie. The Scottish Premiership champions continued their productive summer on Tuesday, securing the services of Australia international Aaron Mooy.

The 31-year-old joins Celtic on a two-year deal and brings him with vast experience at a high level – he has 53 caps and eight goals for his country – as he looks to fill the void left by Tom Rogic.

Mooy’s arrival certainly boosts the Hoops’ squad depth but it could still be that more transfer business is conducted at Parkhead in the coming weeks, with McAvennie believing Mikey Johnston is next up for the chopping block.

Speaking to Football Insider, McAvennie said he would like to see a holding midfielder arrive instead: “I still think they need a holding midfield player.
