“Where we need to improve on” Brendan Rodgers drops strong January transfer hint

Brendan Rodgers Hints at Further Celtic Reinforcements in January

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has dropped a strong hint that his recruitment plans are far from over, despite a productive transfer window that saw four new signings arrive at the club.

Rodgers Pleased with Summer Signings

Arne Engels and Luke McCowan, signed on Deadline Day, have already made an impact, scoring in Celtic’s win over Hearts. Rodgers appears delighted with the quality of his new recruits, who complement the existing midfield trio of Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate, and Paulo Bernardo.

Preparations Begin for January Transfer Window

As one transfer window closes, Rodgers is already looking ahead to the next, suggesting that there are still areas requiring improvement. When asked about his current squad’s quality and readiness for the Champions League, Rodgers replied:

“This is the most ready I’ve felt as a Celtic manager coming into the Champions League campaign… There are still areas that we want to improve on.”

New Signings Waiting in the Wings

Auston Trusty and Alex Valle, yet to make their debuts, are likely to feature in Sunday’s League Cup tie against Falkirk.

Fan Reaction

Celtic supporters are optimistic about the team’s prospects, with some drawing comparisons to past successes. James Gallagher referenced Lubomir Moravcik’s impactful arrival at Celtic in his 30s, while Iljas Baker emphasized the importance of converting chances into goals, particularly in European competitions.

Rodgers’ Confidence Growing

Having had a year to assess his squad, Rodgers is confident in his team’s ability to compete in the Champions League. With further reinforcements on the horizon, Celtic fans can expect an exciting season ahead.
