Josip Juranovic on the Celtic preparation that has him transfer ready as he makes no Legia Warsaw promises

Celtic target Josip Juranovic believes he'd be able to hit the ground running at Parkhead - having already starred in Scotland for his country.

The Croat is is Ange Postecoglou 's top right-back target and a £3million deal is moving closer.

Juranovic has been told he's free to leave Legia Warsaw if the price is right following the Polish side's elimination from the Champions League.

And the defender is confident he'd be able to take to the Premiership right away having played at Hampden for Croatia at Euro 2020.

Celtic target Juranovic said: "Playing in a tournament like that and winning games was an incredible experience.

"It's definitely strengthened me mentally and I have no doubt that my self-confidence is much higher after the Euros.

"I think it will translate into my game. I believe that I will show all my qualities on the pitch.

"To play in the position of Sime Vrsaljko, who is an Atletico Madrid player, speaks for itself really.

"We had a great tournament and we managed to beat Scotland in Glasgow, but there were a lot of negative emotions in our defeat to Spain.

"We had a lot of chances to score that we didn't take, but that's football. We didn't score enough goals and we had to go home. To play in the Euros with Croatia was a dream come true for me.

"I know about the interest in me from plenty of other clubs and playing in such a tournament will probably add to that.

"But I am only concentrating on Legia until someone tells me otherwise.

"Can I promise that I will spend the season in Poland? I'm here for now and that's all I want to say about it."
