Celtic coach Ange Postecoglou insists there's no plans to sell fullback Josip Juranovic in January.

The defender is being linked with Chelsea after Reece James' latest knee setback.

Juranovic has a growing list of admirers — including Atletico Madrid — after playing a key role in Croatia's run to the World Cup semi-finals.

Juranovic was on the bench at Easter Road having just returned to training with the Parkhead squad.

"I can say I've heard nothing," said Postecoglou. "Nothing's happened. As I said a week or so ago, the speculation is what it is.

"What I know is we are in a really good space as a club. Going into January we have already strengthened and hopefully we'll strengthen further.

"I'm in no doubt that by the end of January we'll have a stronger squad than we did going into it."
