Neil Lennon has revealed he wants men to help his talented boys to another title.
The Parkhead boss admits he’d like to add some valuable experience into his squad as he hunts new signings during the transfer window.
Lennon and his recruitment team are scoring the globe as they hunt talent.
Celtic will continue to stick to their tried-and-tested business plan of unearthing young gems such as Odsonne Edouard to develop and progress into future stars.
However, Lennon also feels some ready-made arrivals would assist his current crop of young stars as they push for a ninth-straight title.
He said: “Looking at the team, we have 19-year-olds, a couple of 20-year-olds, 21-year-olds. Allied to that, we have the Scott Browns and Callum McGregors of this world.
“Going forward for the second half we would like a bit of experience in there to augment what we already have. Yes, just a bit of experience.
“I think there is room for freshening things up and bringing in a little bit of quality and experience.
“That is what we are endeavouring to do in the background.
“It’s important we bring a couple in. I think we need a bit of strength in depth. Some experience wouldn’t go amiss as well and we want some quality to give the rest of the boys a lift. That is what we are looking for, that is the objective.
“January is a hard month. You can go right up until January 31 sometimes.
"Right to the death and you can get good deals done, so we are very optimistic of having a good month.
“Nick Hammond has been on the phone about four times this week on conference calls and he’s here, there and everywhere with players at the minute. We’re doing analysis.
“But if I can’t get what I want then we have got a good core of a squad. We will definitely bring in one or two players. If I can get our No.1 targets, great.
"If we can’t then we will just freshen things up.”
