STEPHEN MCGOWAN of the Daily Mail has tweeted to Celtic supporters giving an update on their deadline day business and it is good news for Celtic.
The Scottish Daily Mail’s Chief Football writer said that Diego Laxalt’s deal was likely to be the sole incoming at Celtic Park with no major departures expected to take place.
Diego Laxalt loan likely to be it for Celtic.
No Harry Wilson.
No big departures.

Odsonne Edouard, Ryan Christie, Kris Ajer, Olivier Ntcham and Tom Rogic had all been linked with moves away but Celtic have fended off interest in order to maintain a strong squad for this potentially historic season.
McGowan also poured cold water on the rumour that Liverpool’s Harry Wilson could join on loan, it is believed that Jurgen Klopp only wanted to sell and only if the price was right.
As things stand it looks like Marko Grujic, Harry Wilson and Xherdan Shaqiri will all be staying at #LFC today. No suitable offers yet tabled for them. Liverpool's stance has always been they would only depart permanently, not on loan, and only if the £££ was right.

Celtic are now in excellent shape ahead of the 10IAR charge and Neil Lennon will be delighted at presiding over such a successful transfer window. AC Milan’s Laxalt will give Celtic an attacking option at left wing back and offer more competition for Greg Taylor.
The only regret in this window was that Fraser Forster did not decide to make a Celtic Park return; however, the club were quick to identify a replacement and Vasilis Barkas is beginning to prove his worth at Celtic Park.
