Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell has promised to back manager Gordon Strachan when the transfer window reopens in January.

Although The Bhoys are now seven points clear of arch-rivals Rangers in the race for the SPL title, their European dream is over for another season following a defeat to Aalborg last Tuesday.

Celtic are determined to scoop a domestic Treble and Lawwell says funds will not be a problem should Strachan wish to strengthen his squad come the New Year.

Focus

"Our first focus is to win the league and we will do whatever we can to make that happen," he told the Scottish Mail on Sunday.

"We have three domestic trophies to win. We want to win the SPL title to get us to four in a row and be back in the Champions League next year.

"To that end, in the short term, we will be doing as much as we can to support Gordon in January.

"We are looking at both quality and quantity. We have a track record of getting to a transfer window and coming out of it stronger."
