Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou insists he will not rush any transfers this summer.

The Bhoys have qualified directly for the Champions League group stage after winning he Scottish Premier League title last season.

Postecoglou told Celtic TV: "Last year I was really keen to get people in the building. We kind of knew we would have a few leaving as well, so it was a really hectic time.

"In the January window we worked a bit more methodically. We kind of knew what we wanted and we got it in early.

"It's the same this time. I'm not one to rush things. The most important thing is to get the right players in, that is the key for me.

"It's not just about them as players, it's about them as people. So for that to happen we can't put timelines on things.

"The earlier we get players in the better, but as everyone knows we have a unique scenario this year when we have got a clean pre-season without any competitive games. It's a great advantage for us.

"For me, apart from strengthening the squad, just being able to work with the players we had last year in pre-season will be invaluable.

"Most of them either missed pre-season or we threw them in halfway through a season. Even working with the existing squad will be invaluable."
