Swansea-linked Adam Idah was absent from the open part of Celtic’s training session on Friday morning as the club’s transfer activity intensified ahead of Sunday’s trip to face Rangers.
Uruguayan left-back Marcelo Saracchi was present ahead of the anticipated confirmation of his move from Boca Juniors.
As was 24-year-old Belgian winger Michel-Ange Balikwisha, whose transfer from Royal Antwerp was announced by Celtic on Thursday night.

But Idah looks set to depart having reportedly travelled to South Wales for a medical after Swansea succeeded with an offer worth up to £7million for the Republic of Ireland international.
The 24-year-old was briefly Celtic’s record signing, before the £11million arrival of Arne Engels last summer, after enjoying a fruitful loan spell from Norwich.
Idah hit 20 goals for Celtic last season but struggled to win over a number of fans and failed to score in the early part of this campaign.
Celtic have been linked with a move for Anderlecht and Denmark forward Kasper Dolberg. The 27-year-old former Ajax and Nice player has scored five times in eight appearances this season after scoring 20 goals for club and country last term.
