New deals to keep Jackie McNamara, John Kennedy and Shaun Maloney at Celtic are close to being finalised, according to manager Martin O'Neill.
All three have been in talks recently with a view to extending their current contracts at the club.
O'Neill hopes to tie up McNamara and Maloney before the squad travel to the Czech Republic next week.
The Celtic boss is also keen to secure Alan Thompson, Neil Lennon, Chris Sutton and John Hartson on new deals.
