‘We need to improve squad. Hopefully the club will get that’ – Celtic boss Rodgers

Manager Brendan Rodgers insists it was his decision to leave Celtic’s squad for the Champions League play-off against Kairat, and that he must “accept where it’s at.”

The Scottish champions, who were a major advance, were pointless when their Kazakhstan counterparts held them to a goalless draw.

They are now required to travel more than 3,500 miles for the second leg of next Tuesday’s second leg, which is close to the Chinese border, knowing they must do better to finish the season at the top of the standings in continental competition.

This summer, Celtic signed seven players for free, including Jahmai Simpson-Pusey on loan, Hayato Inamura, Shin Yamada, and Callum Osmand.

Only Nygren and Tierney made the start on Wednesday, while Jota is still out injured for a long time, while Nicolas Kuhn and Kyogo Furuhashi, who last played in the Champions League, have been sold and not replaced.

In the end, I don’t make my own decision. I can get the players ready for the game. We are aware of where we need to go in the improvement process and why we are unable to do so.

We don’t have the players here because there are only so many ways I can dress up. It was quite concise. You don’t need to look too far in the future.

You are aware that these games are difficult, and you want to get players in as quickly as possible. However, it is what it is. I have to accept its current state.

Rodgers has already expressed his frustration over the lack of signings that would strengthen his starting XI this summer.

Following Friday’s Premier Sports Cup victory over Falkirk, his patience was tested during an interview, but he did acknowledge that deals could still be completed before the window closed late on Monday, September.

Keep in mind that Adam Idah was still holding a scarf above his head at this time last season, and Auston Trusty, Arne Engels, and Luke McCowan were yet to arrive.

Fans who chanted “sack the board” during the draw with Kairat were unaware of that.

Kenny: Playing off, low-ball offers. Every fan has the same level of disgust with Brendan Rodgers. signing projects hoping that one out of five contracts for £20 million. shocking .

No matter what happens, it’s always someone else’s fault, says Rufus: Teflon Brendan. either the players’ board.

Graham: Rodgers’ usual, blah blah blah blah.

Andy: The problem with signings is not the cost, but the timing. Kuhn was sold a few weeks ago, while Jota is still indefinitely indefinitely. So presumably the club is signing two wingers. Despite this, we are unable to sign one before the crucial games begin. The pattern continues for many years.

Tony, Rodgers’ failure to evolve in terms of set up may be a factor, but the transfer deals aren’t good enough. a group of players who alternate their positions without anyone putting forth a different strategy to make room for a forward pass.

Rory: Rodgers and the players are responsible for that. Should have used what we had to defeat them.

Dave: Rodgers lacks urgency and quality about this team, making the perfect excuse to leave after this season. The board has rolled the dice and failed, and they are responsible for this.

Ivor: Brendan is working his ticket once more? Will Peter Lawwell be a target for fans once more? Just a bonus that Rangers aren’t quite ready to perform. The board is sacked.

Not nearly good enough, Michelle. Idah is not up to the standard we need, and Kogo and Kuhn have both long since passed away.

Wullie, “Sack the Board”? utterly hilarious The failure of a millionaire team and its millionaire manager to defeat a team from Kazakhstan is down to the Celtic board.

Eric, You get what you pay for!
