Celtic transfer state of play as Kieran Tierney in FFP Arsenal limbo while Tommy Doyle gets telling move wink

The transfer window is coming into the final straight but Celtic don't look to be finished quite yet in their pursuit of transfer deals.

They have confirmed one exit in Carl Starfelt on Thursday as the Swedish defender completes his anticipated move to Spanish side Celta Vigo. But there could be a swift arrival to replace him in the form of Gustaf Lagerbielke, the Elfsborg defender subject of a bid from Brendan Rodgers' side.

He's refusing to deal in what ifs and a question on lingering Kieran Tierney rumours were swatted by the gaffer at his pre-Aberdeen press conference. But talk of more incomings isn't getting any quieter and it might not be long before there is a done deal klaxon being sounded from Parkhead, with Champions League group stage football on the horizon. Here are the latest rumours and news surrounding Celtic transfer business at this stage in the window.

Rodgers has been linked with reigniting connections with the City Group, as Man City midfielder Tommy Doyle reportedly fins a way on his shopping list. Citizen teammate James McAtee is another who has been mentioned.

He spent last season on loan at Sheffield United as they earned promotion back to thee Premier League and Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom has delivered a telling wink that he's keen on the midfielder. The former Hibs boss said: "He's not our player but someone I speak to. Always a chance."

There's been talk of this one all summer but Rodgers' coy response on Tierney showed he is focusing on what he has at his disposal right now. For the Arsenal full-back himself, he finds himself in Financial Fair Play limbo.
