Callum McGregor talks up Celtic transfer business and hopes for 'one or two more' signings

Callum McGregor has saluted Celtic’s early work in the transfer market and hopes there’s more new faces to come as the Parkhead skipper looks to build on last season’s double success of the Scottish Premiership and Premier Sports Cup.

And the Hoops skipper reckons a pre-season training camp in mountainous Austria can prove the perfect preparation for Ange Postecoglou to build on the heights of his first season in charge as Celtic look to make an impact on the Champions League.

Celtic are jetting out to their base on Monday take to the field for their first friendly game on Wednesday when they take on minnows SC Wiener Viktoria in Bad Erlach in the first of three friendlies before they return to Glasgow. McGregor has welcomed new faces Alexandro Bernabei and Benjamin Siegrist - as well as coach Harry Kewell - who join last season’s loanees Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers in penning permanent deals which has delighted the 29-year-old club captain.

Asked for his thoughts on the transfer business for far, McGregor told Celtic TV : “Excellent. I know the manager was really keen on getting the boys from last year here and having spoken to them over the summer they were desperate to come back.

“It’s a huge club and the boys are buzzing to be a part of it. The club have done their business early and hopefully we can add one or two more faces as well which would be great. This season we have to go again and reach another level. That’s the challenge for the players and I’m sure the manager will be setting that challenge.

“It’s great to be back, exciting feeling coming back for the new season. We got some big signings in early doors which is great, good for the group, and some new faces as well. We’re really looking forward
