Some Celtic have made their transfer demands known to the club’s manager Neil Lennon and some want the outgoings to be as secure as the incomings in January.
The Hoops are at the top of the Premiership table this season. They recently beat Aberdeen in the league at the weekend, climbing to as many as five points at the top of the Premiership.
The Hoops have already qualified to the knockout stages of the Europa League by finishing top of their group for the first time in history.
Celtic fans: Do you need some more signings?
We are in desperate need!
We're fine with what we have!
With the January transfer window coming up, many Hoops fans are making their demands clear.
Wanyama, Benkovic, Sporar & a right winger on loan please and thank you.

If we got a quality striker and nobody else I’d be happy……would rather we invest all our budget on a striker rather than a striker & 2/3 others Lenny already has problems keeping everyone in squad happy…..

Sporar and Wanyama would be good but knowing us it’ll be Jordan Rhodes on loan and the return of Efe Ambrose.

The Hoops have been linked with a move for Slovan Bratislava striker Andraz Sporar in recent days and talks are said to be ongoing. Cruzeiro central defender Fabricio Bruno has also been linked with the Bhoys and a move could yet be possible. The Brazilian has already taken his club to court for a possible move.
This past summer, the Hoops spent £24.3 million on signings. They brought in left-back Boli Bolingoli, Christopher Jullien and Hatem Abd Elhamed, signing Luca Connell and Jonathan Afolabi on a free transfer.
When it comes to player sales, the Hoops let go of six players on a free transfer. Scott Allan, Cristian Gamboa, Marvin Compper, Dedryck Boyata, Mikael Lustig and Emilio Izaguirre all left on a free transfer. Kieran Tierney also left the club to join Arsenal for a fee of £24.30 million.
What do we think?
The Hoops do need a second-choice striker more than anything else. That is why Sporar is being linked. With Jack Hendry not playing enough, a move for Bruno would also be welcome.
