Celtic chief rules out imminent sales
Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell on Tuesday night vowed there would be no players sold before the conclusion of the Champions League tie with Arsenal.
Recent reports have linked full-back Andreas Hinkel with a move to Hull and midfielder Scott Brown with a switch to Tottenham.
Lawwell insisted there would be no departures before next Wednesday's second leg but did not rule out Hinkel leaving before the transfer window closes.
He told Sky Sports News: "We know there is a little bit of interest from down south in Andreas. But, again, that's all we have - it's speculation."
There were rumours on Tuesday Spurs boss Harry Redknapp was attending Tuesday night's Champions League play-off round first leg between Celtic and Arsenal at Parkhead.
Of Brown, Lawwell said: "We've had no contact with Spurs at all."
He added: "The rest of the business will take care of itself in the next couple of weeks."
Lawwell believes that while qualifying for the Champions League group stage would net Celtic £10million, Arsenal stand to miss out on up to £30million if they are knocked out in the next week.
Lawwell, who rejected the chance to become Arsenal chief executive last season, added: "It's just a pity that we're meeting each other so early in the competition and so early in the season."
