Celtic transfer kitty waits on Champions League

Celtic manager Martin O’Neill has hinted that his transfer kitty will only be significantly swelled once his side’s name is guaranteed to be in the Champions League group stage draw.

O’Neill is poised to recruit Sweden goalkeeper Magnus Hedman of Coventry and Hibernian’s Danish defender Ulrik Laursen ahead of the impending Champions League qualifier with either Swiss champions Basle or the best team in Slovakia, Zilina.
