As the summer transfer window looms, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers will be looking to bolster numerous parts of his squad.
The Parkhead gaffer is just off the back of securing a double with the Hoops, but will not want to rest on his laurels and kick on next season.

Despite having Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales, Maik Nawrocki, and Gustaf Lagerbielke all down to long-term commitments at the club, reports linking Celtic to Austrian international Flavius Daniliuc imply that centre-back is an area Rodgers wants to reinforce this summer.
The 23-year-old would be an attractive addition to the ranks, but former Scotland international right-back Stephen O’Donnell has suggested a viable option for his old squad.
O’Donnell, who spent two years in Celtic’s youth, reckons the Hoops could do worse than signing his ex-national team colleague Scott McKenna.
“He is a player I know really well,” he stated (Clyde 1 Superscoreboard via RecordSport).
“There will be lots of interest from other clubs in other countries, but if they (Celtic) wanted him, they would try to get him.
“Would I sign him for Celtic? Yeah, definitely, but I don’t know what the manager is looking for.”
McKenna is a left-footed center-back who can be signed for no money and helps Europe meet its quota of indigenous players. The Bhoys were linked with the 27-year-old in January, and possibly they may make a bid again over the summer.
