Celtic are not about to let Rangers steal a march on them in the transfer market.

The Scottish giants have won their ninth successive Scottish Premiership title.

But they do not want to give Rangers a sniff of the title as they aim to win ten in a row next season.

For their part, Rangers recently finalised a permanent deal for Ianis Hagi.

And assistant boss John Kennedy admitted Celtic will be active in the summer market.

"Every year we want to bring a couple of fresh faces in to give us a lift and try and strengthen the areas we think we can improve, and that will be no different this year," he told Superscoreboard.

"It will be more challenging because we don't know the state of the transfer market yet, we don't know when the transfer windows will run.

"But we have spent this time at home looking at potential players who could come in and improve the squad."
