Every Celtic linked left back as multiple options in mix to boost Ange Postecoglou's champions

It's clear that Celtic are in the market for a left-back this summer.

However, any new arrival will face a battle for game time after Greg Taylor 's rousing finish to the season underlined the faith shown in him by Ange Postecoglou.

The Celtic manager's formation puts plenty on his full-backs. They are asked to defend, attack and also come into midfield to open up space for others.

It's a packed brief and it takes a particular player to pull it off – Anthony Ralston and Josip Juranovic have proved adept on the right hand side.

Postecoglou is a specialist in identifying the perfect profile that allows players to hit the ground running upon arrival at Lennoxtown.

And that knack for getting it right will prove vital again ahead of a return to the Champions League.

Record Sport runs the rule over every left-back who has been linked with Celtic with the window now open.

Jeahze appears destined for a move but it remains to be seen if that will to Celtic.

Key stat: Over his last 45 games, he has created 44 key chances and bagged 12 assists.

Celtic have been linked with several South American talents in recent seasons but moves for Brazil's Fernando Henrique and Ecuador's Piero Hincapie didn't come off.

And now Argentina youth international Francisco Ortega is reportedly on their radar.

He's been turning heads at Velez
