Glasgow: Celtic manager Neil Lennon says he still expects to do some business before the January transfer window closes on Friday.
The Hoops have so far only added Norwegian midfielder Stefan Johansen to their squad as they move remorselessly towards their third league title in a row.
Midfielder Kris Commons is top scorer for the Glasgow giants this season and Lennon is desperate to add a striker to help out his goal-shy strikers.
Established frontmen Anthony Stokes and Georgios Samaras are struggling for goals, while Finnish forward Teemu Pukki and Amido Balde have failed to make an impact since arriving in the summer.
The Parkhead club had a bid for Wolves’ Scottish striker Leigh Griffiths rejected earlier this week and Lennon said they were considering their options.
“I will see what tomorrow or Friday brings but we are looking at other options as well,” he said.
“The fee was rejected by Wolves so whether we go back again is something we will have to consider over the next couple of days.
“We always have other options for similar positions anyway. I’m not saying the move for Leigh is dead by any means but we do have other people in mind, not just for that particular position but others as well.
“I will be glad at one minute past 11 on Friday night when I can go home and put my feet up. Then you’ve got your squad to work with between now and May.
“There is a lot of speculation regarding our players currently here and players coming in. The phone is non-stop at the moment so it will be fraught for the next 48 hours.”
Lennon was speaking after his side extended their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership with a comprehensive 4-0 win over Kilmarnock at Parkhead on Wednesday.
