Ange Postecoglou added to his squad this afternoon with the additions of former English Premier League duo Joe Hart and James McCarthy.
Despite some questions being asked of the signings, one thing Celtic fans will likely be happy to see is not having to wait 10 days for new signings to complete an isolation period with both players coming from down south.
At this stage, it has been announced that Joe Hart will be available for the tie by the club, but it remains to be seen if McCarthy will feature in the Hoops third round Europa League qualifying tie..
? It's a go for Joe! ?
Look who's joining the travelling party, Celts! ?

Postecoglou has until 11 PM on Wednesday to add two wildcard transfer options to his squad, allowing them to feature in either of the European qualifying ties.
Fans will likely be happy to see that there is the possibility of Hart featuring on Thursday night with the clubs goalkeeping problems.
At the same time, even if he wasn’t to feature in the first leg, it would be good to have McCarthy involved next Thursday for the second leg at Parkhead
