Rangers man NOW AFRAID after what he heard about Celtic transfer plans in the past 24 hours

Rangers pundit Steven Thompson has expressed his concern about Celtic’s plans to strengthen their squad in the January transfer window. Thompson, speaking on BBC’s Sportscene, described the prospect of Celtic adding more “firepower” to their already impressive squad as “frightening.”

Thompson’s comments came after Celtic’s win over Motherwell, in which substitutes Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn and Reo Hatate both scored. Thompson highlighted the strength of Celtic’s bench and the impact that their substitutes can have on the game.

“The bench is frightening, two subs managed to come on and get on the scoresheet as well, Kuhn and Hatate,” Thompson said. “It is fairly frightening because you look at the impact of the subs. But I heard Brendan Rodgers earlier on being asked, I think it was on the radio, about strengthening in January and he says ‘Yes, I want to bring more firepower to the team’. That has to frighten every other team, surely?!”

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has indeed indicated that he plans to add to his squad in January, with a particular focus on bringing in another striker. Rodgers has stated that he wants to bring in more “firepower” to the team, which has sparked concern among Celtic’s rivals, including Rangers.

Thompson’s comments reflect the growing concern among Rangers fans and pundits about Celtic’s dominance in Scottish football. Celtic currently hold a 12-point lead over Rangers in the Scottish Premiership and are also competing in the Champions League.

The question on everyone’s mind is who Celtic will bring in to strengthen their squad. Will they recall Johnny Kenny from his loan spell at Shamrock Rovers, or will they bring in a new face? One thing is certain, however: Celtic’s plans to strengthen their squad have got everyone in Scottish football talking.

Celtic’s current strike duo of Kyogo Furuhashi and Adam Idah have been in impressive form this season, scoring 16 goals between them. However, Rodgers is keen to add more depth to his attacking options, and the January transfer window presents the perfect opportunity to do so.

Rangers, on the other hand, will be hoping to close the gap on Celtic in the second half of the season. However, Thompson’s comments suggest that Celtic’s plans to strengthen their squad have got Rangers worried.

It remains to be seen who Celtic will bring in during the January transfer window, but one thing is certain: the Scottish Premiership title race is about to get a whole lot more interesting.
