The Hoops boss has already brought in six new faces to the club this summer and he knows the key positions he wants to bring in real quality before the transfer window slams shut in less than two weeks.
The Hoops boss has already brought in six new faces to the club this summer in the shape of Marco Tilio, Odin Holm, Hyeokkyu Kwon, Hyunjun Yang, Maik Nawrocki and Gustaf Lagerbielke. But he has confessed he needs to bring in more bodies in certain key areas of the park ahead of the summer window slamming shut.
The Scottish champions lost key player Jota over the summer for a big fee to the Saudi Pro League while Carl Starfelt - who was another ever-present in Ange Postecoglou's Treble winning side - has left Scotland for a new challenge in Spain with Celta Vigo in La Liga. Two of the names mentioned for the wide positions are Wolves' Podence and out of favour Newcastle man Fraser.

However, by the end of the window in less than two weeks time he expects some more business to have been completed.
He said: "There’s obviously names that will get thrown out there but there’s nothing to say on them. There’s nothing imminent. “I still think we need to improve the squad in certain key positions. There’s still a way to go. It’s never straight forward, especially when you are looking to get really talented players.
