CELTIC manager Brendan Rodgers is gearing up for a busy few days before the transfer window closes with movement expected both ways.
And he admits upcoming Champions League fixtures against Barcelona, Manchester City and Borussia Monchengladbach plus access to a potential £30million-plus prize pot have strengthened his hand.
"It allows us to hopefully add to our squad before the window shuts," he said. "That was always going to be the case but of course once qualification is done, it opens up some more funds in order to do that, which is great. The club is going to try to continue to develop now and obviously this Champions League qualification helps us do that.
"It was quoted as the richest game in the history of the club so it shows the impact it can have. We want to bring in the right profile of players that can help us, not just now, but in the next few years.
"Celtic as a football club is a huge attraction, the scale of the club, the expectancy will always attract players, but of course when we have the games we have to play, it's always a huge attraction. Being in the Champions League will certainly make some players sit up and take notice.
"We've got a few ideas of players that we want, but nothing imminent."
The likes of Efe Ambrose, Kris Commons and Emilio Izaguirre could join Johansen in departing after finding their playing time limited under the new manager.
"There's been a number of enquiries about our players," Rodgers said. "There's a number of players that are fully aware of where they stand and they know they will struggle to get games.
"So I think between them and their agents, they are obviously looking to get moves that will allow them the possibility to pay. But there is nothing imminent of anyone leaving now."
Rodgers has close to a full squad for tomorrow's Ladbrokes Premiership encounter with Aberdeen.
Only Gary Mackay-Steven is unavailable as he continues his recovery from ankle surgery.
Defender Jozo Simunovic has resumed training after a knee injury but is short of match-fitness, while Stefan Johansen looks to be on his way to Fulham.
Provisional squad: Gordon, Lustig, Tierney, Janko, Sviatchenko, Ambrose, Toure, O'Connell, Brown, Bitton, Armstrong, Griffiths, Forrest, Roberts, Dembele, Ciftci, Izaguirre, Christie, Rogic, McGregor, Commons, De Vries, Fasan.
