Celtic goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo has addressed potential unrest over the club's slow start to the summer transfer window.
The Scottish Premiership champions have made just one signing so far, Colombian forward Camilo Duran from Qarabag.
Speaking at a press conference ahead of Saturday's friendly against Middlesbrough, the Finland international emphasised the importance of maintaining focus on the pitch.
Sinisalo acknowledged the situation but urged the players to concentrate on performance. He said, "Ultimately, we’re the ones on the pitch doing the playing, and I think it all calms down a little bit if we play well.

"It’s down to us to put the performances out and block that out."
Some supporters have grown frustrated at the lack of visible progress in the market. Sinisalo also highlighted the positive impact of fan unity during Celtic’s strong finish to last season, which saw the club secure a league and cup double.
He added, "You could see towards the end of the season how united the stadium was and how much of a push that gave everyone.
"Our job is very much to focus on what we can do on the pitch."
