"The Parkhead outfit have signed Julian Araujo and Tomas Cvancara - both on loan - in the winter transfer window from Bournemouth and Borussia Monchengladbach, respectively. Supporters have consistently criticised a perceived lack of investment this season, while last summer's recruitment has been hit and miss at best. Benjamin Nygren is Celtic's leading scorer - the Swede took his tally to 15 with the second against Falkirk - but Michel-Ange Balikwisha and Sebastian Tounekti have flattered to deceive."
""We are [close to transfers]," O'Neill said. "We've some medicals here at this minute and fingers crossed the players come through. "We've got a couple and we're hoping to add maybe late on. That would give us a chance. We're staying there to the end and let's see what happens.""
Celtic interim manager Martin O'Neill confirmed two prospective signings are having medicals and suggested further additions may arrive before the transfer window closes. The club already signed Julian Araujo and Tomas Cvancara on loan during the winter window. Supporters have criticised limited investment this season and inconsistent summer recruitment. Benjamin Nygren leads the scoring with 15 goals, while other attacking signings have underperformed and Kelechi Iheanacho has struggled for form and fitness. The win over Falkirk moved Celtic into second, but the team remain six points behind leaders Hearts. O'Neill expressed cautious optimism about late transfers.
