Ange Postecoglou has spoken about the inevitability of players leaving in the summer.

However, the Celtic manager has said that the players moving on will be adequately replaced by new talent coming through the door at the club.

The Australian has been a revelation with his recruitment thus far at Celtic, with players such as Kyogo Furuhashi, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Reo Hatate being just a few of the names who have succeeded at the club.

Speaking recently on the topic, Postecoglou said: “I think it’s fair to say we are in the second year and things are embedded, that includes the core playing group.

"But that also gives you the opportunity to grow as a team. Part of that challenge will be the more success you have the more likely it will be that some of your players will move on.

"They get the attention of other clubs. We have to be ready to fill those gaps with players who have the ability to take us to another level altogether.

"So, there are always those challenges.

"I’ve always felt recruitment was an important part of my role, particularly with the nature of the task I had.

"It wasn’t like I was picking up an established or core group. It was a team needing to be rebuilt.

"I knew what I wanted. The club were really good in trusting me with that process."

Celtic Way:

Meanwhile, Neil Lennon has been named in a three-man shortlist for the vacant Olympiakos job, according to reports.

The Northern Irishman who has been out of work since his departure from Omonia Nicosia last October, is linked with the Greek giants, who are looking for a new manager since relieving Spanish boss Michel of his duties. The Piraeus club sit third in the Super League Greece and have identified Lennon as one of their key managerial targets as they look to bounce back.

The 51-year-old, who managed Bolton Wanderers and Hibernian in between his two stints at Parkhead, won the Cypriot Cup with Omonia Nicosia in 2021 and was a treble-winner as both a player and manager at Celtic.
