All three have been mentioned in recent times but so too have dozens of others as part of the transfer guessing game. Friel has a long track record of being very close to the news coming out of Celtic. On June 19 he was the first reporter to link Celtic with Camilo Duran. On July 10 Celtic announced that the striker had been signed from Qarabag. The Sun reporter was also first to flag up Celtic’s renewed interest in Kasper Hogh. It seems unlikely that any signings will be announced until after Tuesday’s Champions League Play Off against LASK. CELTIC TRANSFER TARGETS With their European fate known Celtic fans will expect more signings of the calibre that have already been made this summer. Late on Saturday Friel told Sun readers: CELTIC are set to ramp up their interest in Gvidas Gineitis after Tuesday’s Champions League play-off. SunSport revealed the Torino midfielder had been earmarked to replace Arne Engels back in June. The Italians will want around £9million to do business – but Celtic remain keen to land Gineitis. Martin O’Neill has made it clear that he wants a physical, box-to-box midfielder and the Lithuanian fits the bill. Frail added: Ermin Mahmic is also on the Hoops’ radar and was again left out by Slovan Liberec as they beat Zlin 1-0. Celtic have been tracking the 21-year-old attacking midfielder and could look to seal a deal before the window shuts. But Czech reports claim several other European clubs are still on Mahmic’s trail as he weighs up his future. Liberec chiefs want a club record £7m fee for the gifted Austrian-born midfielder, who scored twice at the World Cup. Celtic are also chasing a left-back to cover for Kieran Tierney, with Chelsea’s Landon Emenalo likely to complete a loan move this week. It seems a calculated risk to wait until Celtic’s Champions League fate is known. Duran, Hogh and Maik Baur all played significant roles in the first leg victory over LASK. While players arrive there is every chance that others will move out in the coming weeks. Reo Hatate looks like being the most high profile player to depart. So far this season he has made one substitute appearance in four matches. Johnny Kenny spent the second half of last season on loan at Bolton and is likely to be in demand again from clubs at that level. Reaching the Champions League on Tuesday night guarantees Celtic around £30m direct from UEFA. Falling into the Europa League would provide around £10m. All payments are scaled up in the Champions League with a win coming with a bonus of €2.1m and €700,000 for a draw. In the Europa League the payments are €450k per win and €150k for a draw. With increased ticket and hospitality rates and payments from sponsors the stakes in LASK on Tuesday night are high with a knock on impact on transfer activity and morale.
