“We’ve been trying to create an identity.
“The players will have been loving this success. Of course there will be one or two that may look at other needs, which you can understand.
“But going forward we want to keep improving.
Celtic are hoping to tie up a deal for loan bhoy Edouard and are looking at bringing more stars in.
Some players who could make way are Stuart Armstrong and Dedryk Boyata – both of whom are entering the last year of their deals.
