Brendan Rodgers’ side are still on a hunt for a left-back and an attacker, with the clock now ticking down on the summer transfer window.
They are reshaping their squad this summer and a move for a goalkeeper was also mooted for the Bhoys.
The Hoops were credited with an interest in Cagliari custodian Boris Radunovic at one point this summer.
However, it is now claimed that the Scottish Premiership title holders are unlikely to land a shot-stopper before the transfer window slams shut.
Celtic’s goalkeeping cover Benjamin Siegrist was widely tipped to leave Parkhead earlier this summer.
However, he is set to stay at the Bhoys despite having yet to make a league appearance for the Scottish outfit.
Now with their transfer stance on the goalkeeping position likely to be set, it remains to be seen how Celtic will measure their stride in the dying hours of the transfer window.

Celtic fans demanded transfer fireworks in the final week and the Premiership champions are delivering a signing spark.
Luis Palma is on board as the winger secured his five-year deal and the iconic number 7. And now three more moves are on the to do list before the window goes under lock on key on Friday at midnight. Brendan Rodgers craved quality and he appears to be closing in on key targets. Paulo Bernardo is inbound from Benfica. An initial loan is about to be rubber-stamped and Celtic know the benefits of options to buy as they struck gold with Jota under similar circumstances. Bernardo is a different type, of course, an all-action midfielder who backs up his creative flair with a knack for rolling his sleeves up.
Nat Phillips is the man who will answer the question to Celtic’s central defensive crisis. The 26-year-old enjoys cult status at Liverpool and with Maik Nawrocki, Cameron Carter Vickers and Stephen Welsh on the shelf – it will now be on the big man from Bolton to rise to the challenge. A SOS mission is nothing new to Phillips who earned acclaim for his displays amid Liverpool’s defensive injury crisis two seasons ago.
