But talking about the upcoming transfer window, Davies appeared to play down the possibility of it being a busy time in the east end of Glasgow.
“I don’t envisage January being particularly busy for us,” the former Reading, Liverpool and Swansea City coach said.
“We’ll recruit where needed and some players may move on as the squad evolves. We have a strong squad with good players but we’re always looking to improve.”
Whilst Celtic’s desire for a central defender has been widely publicised, the club has also been linked with a handful of strikers in recent weeks including Richmond Boakye and Artem Dovbyk.
Brendan Rodgers said last month that he was preparing to spend in January but Davies’ comments suggest that any activity may be minimal.
