Celtic faces Kilmarnock to Rugby Park this weekend and could now be ready to make unexpected beginnings to a young person in the middle of a new injury problem for Brendan Rodgers.
Brendan Rodgers reflects on the Celtic summer window
Without a doubt, dissatisfaction surrounding Celtic’s lack of efficiency in the summer transfer window was widespread among the supporters, who were furious against the inability of the hierarchy to properly equip the Bhoys for their Champions League eliminators against Kairat Almaty.
With Kelechi Iheanacho and Sebastian Tounekti arriving late, Rodgers ended up with a little comfort. However, many believe that he has received a difficult hand with the tools he has available in relation to the coarse financial health that the Scottish Champions of Premiership have.
Honestly reflecting on a disappointing summer, the Irishman admitted that his team was not ready for his vital European qualification matches, but he retains the hope that his ambition could be equaled by the table of windows to come.
He said at his pre-match press conference: “I think the club’s business model is very successful. What we have to marry with football. Not just investment, the time of investment.
“It was clear what we needed, and we needed it early. We had these qualifying matches. The summer of 2025 was a critical window for us so that the players were ready for these games, and we were not ready. It made me leave the last time. This time, I will not do that, a hundred percent.”
To surprise, Celtic is at the front of the queue to sign the winger Yelimay Semey Galymzhan Kenzhebek, who is available on a free transfer to the January window.
Be that as it may, Rodgers must play with the cards available to him in the foreseeable future, and he could now be forced to make a complete shock to an unknown first teenager.
Colby Donovan could be planned for the complete Celtic beginnings against Kilmarnock
Continuing his long conversation with the media, Rodgers continued to confirm that Anthony Ralston is currently sporting a moon boot and will spend a period of time on the sidelines.
He said: “Tony, he is obviously unavailable and will be in a boot a little longer. So, yes, I hope he will be back in a little while.”
Given that OSTAIR Johnston is also out of action for Celtic because of a problem with the hamstrings, Colby Donovan could now be planned for its beginnings, because it is the only other option that Rodgers has which is naturally a backward-by-trade.
Praised for his “aggressive” qualities of the former manager of Liverpool, the Scottish defender of under 21 presented the bench of this quarter against Livingston and Kairat Almaty twice, although the Lennofxtown product has never started for his childhood club.
Marcelo Saracchi could be called in a berth on unknown right back. However, it seems unlikely that Rodgers will use the loan on his bad side, and Donovan is now online to start until Ralston or Johnston is coming back.
