Celtic coach wants new signings for LASK match

From Monday, LASK's play-off hurdle for UEFA Champions League participation was confirmed. The Austrian champions will face Celtic Glasgow.

Didi Kühbauer faces a duel with Celtic coach Martin O'Neill (74), a man with extreme experience.

The desire for new signings

The coach would also like one or two new signings for the important match. "I would definitely welcome it. The most important thing is that the players come, but also that they work together," he is quoted by "Scotsman".

In addition to new signings, the 74-year-old also wants midfielder Are Engels and right-back Alistair Johnston to remain for the matches. Both are linked with transfers to the Premier League.

Will the transfer targets remain for the LASK match?

"Alistair and Are have both told me they want to play the match if things haven't progressed by then," said O'Neill.

If both were still available, that would be "really good". Whether the interested clubs would approve is another question. They would likely want new signings to be in place by the start of the season too.

Celtic started their season on Monday with a 1-0 win against Dundee FC.
