Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers opened up about the club’s transfer policy, emphasising the collaborative and sustainable approach that has been a hallmark of Celtic’s success in recent years.

Many fans have been vocal on social media, asking who Brendan has signed, and who the club has signed. The quick answer is that the club have been responsible for all of the signings so far, and will continue to be.

Headed by Mark Lawwell, the scouting department has a great abundance of players who the club cab take a move on if someone leaves. Of course, Brendan Rodgers is included in these discussions, but early signs suggest that it’s bearing a lot of fruit so far for Celtic

Rodgers outlined the process, stating: “It’s pretty simple in terms of how it works. Ultimately, I will develop and coach the players that the club provide me, and the process of the club providing me with the players is we have a great network of scouts headed up by Mark Lawwell, who as I’ve said before, has done a fantastic job within the model of the club and bringing the players in that fit in with the club, which allows the club to be sustainable and successful at the same time.” [Celtic TV]

The Celtic boss highlighted the meticulous work of the scouting department, which maintains a pipeline of potential signings that align with the club’s ethos and playing style. This approach ensures that Celtic is prepared with options when a player departs, as evidenced by the recent signing of Gustaf Lagerbielke following the exit of other defenders.

Rodgers continued: “So, they have a pipeline of players there that all will fit in, but then it’s about picking the profile that fits us best, and of course, I play a part in that. But they do a lot of great work; they watch players over a number of months so that they have various players for each position. So, whenever we do lose one – as you see with Gustaf – then there’s a replacement to come in. It’s not always straightforward – it always takes time – but like I say, a lot of great work goes on, and ultimately I will coach and develop the players that I am provided, and of course, I have a part in that.”

Rodgers concluded by praising the club’s sustainable model, stating: “The club is run very, very well, it’s very sustainable, and that’s what’s given it that sustainability and success over a number of years and it’s my responsibility to adhere to that.”

Rodgers’ comments come as a strong endorsement of Celtic’s transfer strategy, which balances ambition with fiscal responsibility, ensuring the club remains competitive while safeguarding its long-term future.
