'That's a name' - Celtic boss reacts to transfer link with Danish international holding midfielder

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou danced around reports that the club could attempt to recruit Danish holding midfielder Oliver Abildgaard in the final hours of the window.

After watching his side confidently despatch Ross County 4-1 in the Premier Sport Cup to set up any away quarter-final against Motherwell in mid-October, he indulged in a spot of badinage when asked if the 26-year-old player, currently on special leave from Russian club Rubin Kazan, was a name he recognised.

“That’s a name, definitely a name,” he said of a player from a club Celtic have already raided for Sead Haksabanovic and Carl Starfelt. “There have been a lot of names. There are 24 hours to go, there are still some outgoings we are working on as well. We’ll see how things fall.”
