Celtic have building for the future at the forefront of their mind alongside bringing in established starts to help the first-team in the transfer window.
The Bhoys are now going full steam ahead from all angles as they continue to plan ahead for the new campaign, with the pre-season tour of the United States taking precedence just now.
Excitingly, nine academy players have travelled Stateside with the Celtic senior team, offering a flavour of what could be to come if any of the youngsters manage to make the jump to the first team.

Now, Celtic have announced that one of their prospects has committed his future to the club on a three-year deal.
Filip Skorb signs three-year professional contract at Celtic
Congratulations are in order for Celtic youth Filip Skorb, who has penned the deal with the Scottish Premiership champions.
In what is his first professional contract, the 16-year-old forward has renewed terms after arriving in the academy set-up just over a year ago, choosing to join the Bhoys despite interest from Rangers, Leeds United and Newcastle United.
A dual-national of Scotland and Poland, Skorb has featured for both international teams at Under-16 level as the two countries vie to get him on board [The Scottish Sun].
Celtic have to improve their track record of keeping youth products at the club for the long-term, and signing the youngster on a three-year deal is an impressive development.
Hopefully, he can continue to develop within the ranks over the next few seasons and potentially make an impact at senior level one day.
