Celtic faces recruitment challenges ahead of Champions League play-off

Celtic entered their Champions League play-off against LASK with the fewest summer signings in the SPFL, adding just four players. These new signings include two strikers, a winger, and a midfielder, leaving them with unresolved gaps in defense. As Celtic prepares for their match with LASK, manager Martin O’Neill acknowledges the need for defensive reinforcements, especially with Kieran Tierney lacking an alternative at left-back. The team has until September 3 to address their squad issues, following the recent departure of midfielder Arne Engels to West Ham.
