Centre-back Auston Trusty is on his way to Glasgow, along with young Belgian midfielder Arne Engels.

The 20-year-old will join from Augsburg in a record transfer, while Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has today confirmed that a deal for Trusty is done.

Speaking at Lennoxtown this afternoon, Rodgers has delivered an all-important brief on things.

“We have a number of transactions going on behind the scenes”, he said (Sky Sports).

“Hopefully by the end of this evening, we can be in a really good place and have that strength and depth that we want.

“I think come the end of tonight there will be movements in and out.”

It is set to be a frantic end to the transfer window at Celtic.

The club have undoubtedly left things late but are seemingly clicking into gear as the clock ticks down.

Rodgers is being backed but alongside Engels and Trusty, he could do with one or two more additions to take the squad to another level.

Offers for Mahamadou Diawara and Alvyn Sanches have recently been turned down, and we could yet see other names enter the fray as the day progresses.
