Celtic manager Neil Lennon is not sure he needs to make any new signings ahead of their quest for 10 consecutive titles.
And the Hoops boss will wait and see how the transfer market develops amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Lennon is set to lose loan players Fraser Forster, Mohamed Elyounoussi and Moritz Bauer while the likes of Jonny Hayes and Craig Gordon are soon out of contract.
January signings Ismaila Soro and Patryk Klimala have yet to establish themselves and the likes of right-back Hatem Abd Elhamed and striker Vakoun Bayo were just coming back from injury when the Covid-19 crisis caused a suspension and now termination of the season.
Much could depend on how much interest develops in top goalscorer Odsonne Edouard and the Celtic manager is happy to survey the scene.
“I am really happy with the squad, I am not sure we need to do a lot of rebuilding at all, if at all.
“But again you don’t know what the landscape is going to look like with bringing players in.”

Monday’s decision to call the Ladbrokes Premiership and declare Celtic champions has allowed Lennon to do some sort of planning.
“June 10 is the mandate, we can start training back in groups, whether that changes between now and then we don’t know, but that’s what we are aiming for,” he said.
“With the league finishing now we can hopefully get a start date for next season and look to build from that.”
