'Competition is fine with me, it sharpens me. I'm more than ready.' More Trending Meanwhile, Amorim has refused to rule out the prospect of United selling Hojlund before the end of the summer window.

He's connecting really well with the team. He's improving. 'I don't know what is going to happen until the market is closed. We suffered a lot because of the lack of goals last season.'

GARY KEOWN: A weakened squad, a manager sounding alarm bells all over again and a palpable sense of chaos on the horizon, how HAS it come to this for Celtic?
Weaker than they were at the turn of the year, no new signings on the radar, putting silly lowball offers into other clubs when there is a pressing need for new players and with a manager now actively calling out the board in public and revealing that he hasn't been offered a new deal with his current contract having less than a year to run. We are now beyond just taking it for granted that everything is going to be all right on the night at Parkhead and very definitely into the realm of asking the question on the lips of more and more fans as this transfer window rumbles on: What the heck are Celtic playing at?
