CELTIC will give boss Gordon Strachan the cash to draft in FOUR new players during the january transfer window.
Chief Executive Peter Lawwell and his board have sanctioned the mid-season splash to keep thier Spl and Champions League campaigns on course.
It"s understood that will now mean new players in BOTH fullback berths, a class midfielder and a proven striker as the hoops bid to make more history and reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
Strachan is also anxious to keep Rangers at bay and secure his third spl title in a row.
The BHOYS boss ,football development chief John Park and Lawwell have been involved in talks over the last two months,and thier plans where not affected by Celts European progression.
A Club insider said, The Budgeting has been done.
"the ambition remains fierce here. the budget is there for the manager and the desire is there to get the players we need to drive to club to the next stage ".
Aston Villa"s Shaun Maloney is hotly tipped for a Parkhead return, while the Hoops have also been strongly linked with Portsmouths unsettled Left-back Matt Taylor.
However, the futures of Derek Riordan,Bobo Balde,Maceij Zurawski and Evander Sno are all in doubt.
