Ange Postecoglou still wants to add more options at centre-back, according to The Daily Record’s Liam Bryce.

The Lowdown: Four in

Dominic McKay brought in four centre-backs for Postecoglou this summer at a combined cost of £5.25m.

Carl Starfelt was the marquee addition from Rubin Kazan at a cost of £4.5m, with Liam Scales and Osaze Urhoghide also penning permanent Parkhead terms.

Celtic then secured the services of Cameron Carter-Vickers on loan from Tottenham on deadline day with just minutes remaining of the window.

The Latest: Bryce’s claim

Bryce shared a story on Friday morning, looking at Celtic’s squad depth now the window has shut.

When it came to centre-back, he claimed that it is a position Postecoglou would like to add further options too, labelling a move for Carter-Vickers as vital.

The Verdict: January moves?

With Postecoglou still after more options at the heart of the defence, McKay could already be on the hunt for New Year additions in that department.

Christopher Julien is out for the foreseeable future, and if he isn’t back playing before the January window opens, that could make a centre-back signing even more important.

However, should new signings Scales and Carter-Vickers impress when selected, who knows, Postecoglou could have a change in thought, but as of now, it appears as if he wants more.
