Celtic manager Gordon Strachan has calmed fears over the club's progress in the transfer market by insisting he could make new signings before next weekend's SPL opener against St Mirren.
The Hoops have to date signed winger Pat McCourt from Derry City in June and clinched a permanent deal for Georgios Samaras following the striker's loan from Manchester City.
But Strachan is determined to bring in more new faces, and there could be several players moving to at Parkhead before the transfer window closes at the end of the month.
Celtic are thought to be closing in on the signing of Barcelona youngster Marc Crosas, with the player's agent telling skysports.com that the two clubs are in talks over a possible deal.
Strachan says the club are working hard on new signings, but he refused to reveal the identity of his targets.
Working hard
"We are trying our best to sign players at the moment. (Chief executive) Peter Lawwell is active at the moment, working very hard," said Strachan.
"From the players' point of view I'm hopeful the squad can be added to before the start of the season. If it doesn't I get on with it.
"It's unfair to talk about targets. Let's just say we are active in quite a few places."
