CELTIC will be involved in a scramble to sign players before the 11pm transfer deadline this evening.
The hectic period could see FOUR potential recruits identified by Brendan Rodgers while another FOUR heading for the Parkhead exit.
The Hoops manager is on the trail of Anderlecht striker Kasper Dolberg who is valued in the £8.5million bracket by his club.
The Danish international came on as a late substitute in his side’s 2-0 loss against Union SG in which two of his team-mates – Nathan-Dylan Saliba and Nilson Angulo – were sent off within moments of each as the Brussels derby ended in uproar.

The Hoops hierarchy will be forced to step up their efforts for the experienced 27-year-old hitman, an international colleague of keeper Kasper Schmeichel, with Adam Idah on the brink of a £7million switch to Championship outfit Swansea City.
The Republic of Ireland hitman was overlooked for the matchday squad in the goalless derby encounter at Ibrox yesterday.
Dolberg, though, also appears to be a target for Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach, according to a report in the Daily Record.
Despite bringing in £4.5million winger Michel-Ange Balikwisha, a debutant in Govan yesterday, Rodgers is still looking to strengthen the Hoops on the flanks.

Marco Tilio has left for Rapid Vienna while Luis Palma has agreed a season-long loan at Lech Poznan. The departure of two wide Bhoys has left the champions light on the touchlines.
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Sebastian Tounekti are also on the club’s radar. A fourth forward option is being explored, and may come through a loan or late offer before the deadline.
Leaving the champions this evening could be another winger, South Korean international Yang Hyun-jun, who has been linked with a £1.5million switch to Birmingham City.
There could also be loan moves for defender Stephen Welsh and summer recruit Hayato Inamura.
