They’ve got a manager they can depend on – go and provide him the players he can shape into a group that can make a genuine impression in Europe. It should be went through shrewdly. It’s not as if Celtic haven’t spent money – it hasn’t been went through wisely.”
What Celtic require within the exchange market
Talking about what Rodgers ought to do with the group alongside Pat Bonner and the rest of the Sportsound board, Stewart deduced that the Bhoys require at slightest four quality augmentations to the primary group.
The previous Hearts and Hibs man said:
“Realistically, in case you see at that Celtic group they got to supplant the goalkeeper since Joe Hart is resigning. They require a middle half that progresses the beginning eleven. Liam Scales is reliable and is worth having within the squad – in case you need to choose your most grounded eleven and make a mark on Europe you got to move forward that position.
“You see at the rest of the group, they need two wingers. Then you can begin looking at where else you’ll be able include quality and depth.”
After a dull window within the summer of 2023 and in January, bounty of Celtic fans will certainly concur with what Stewart is saying almost the club’s have to be thrust on.
Changes have been made since January. Head of enlistment Check Lawwell cleared out the club, as did scout Joe Dudgeon. So distant we know that a man Rodgers rates, Check Cooper, is taking up a scouting role.
It remains to be seen how viable Celtic’s summer is but there’s a part of work to do and colossal assets to require advantage of. It’s on the club to urge it right.
