John Collins says Celtic must not cash in on key duo Alistair Johnston and Arne Engels until after their Champions League play-off. Martin O'Neill's side face LASK in Europe later this month, having failed at the same stage against Kazakh side Kairat Almaty last term. Canada right-back Johnston is wanted by Everton, while Celtic have turned down a bid from West Ham for Belgium midfielder Engels.
The click is ticking towards Celtic's most important games of the season. The first leg of the Champions League play-off against LASK takes place at Parkhead on 19 August and the squad is in urgent need of reinforcements, with strikers Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh the only new arrivals this summer. Paulo Bernardo's loan exit on Tuesday night was the 17th departure from the first-team squad, while Arne Engels and Alistair Johnston are being pursued by West Ham and Everton respectively.
