Celtic won't be making any further additions before the window slams shut but up to FIVE players could leave before midnight.
Oh Hyeon-gyu was the Hoops' fourth and final January signing joining Alistair Johnston, Yuki Kobayashi and Tomoki Iwata in arriving at the Scottish champions. Giorgos Giakoumakis is set for an exit to Atlanta United while Oliver Abildgaard looks set to have his season-long loan cut short. Yosuke Ideguchi, Stephen Welsh, Conor Hazard and James McCarthy are all on the fringes and could also depart.
The Hoops boss revealed: "There won't be any other incomings. In terms of outgoings there are still some things happening in the background but nothing confirmed yet.".

He continued: "We have already brought in players to insulate us if guys who have not played a lot of football for us find other opportunities. It has to suit all parties obviously. We will see what happens over the next few hours.
"Anyone who is playing football and has been a meaningful contributor won't be leaving in this window. Potentially the ones who leave are ones who haven't had a lot of regular game time. There are four or five in the squad, I am not going to talk about individuals."
On Giakoumakis, he added: "We are getting to the tail end of it one way or another and we will get a conclusion in the next 24 hours. Nothing concluded yet, just ongoing discussions."
