With a week left to go in the current summer transfer window, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is keen to strengthen his squad.
The boss wants quality arrivals, but equally has a desire to shift some deadwood.
The likes of Sead Haksabanovic, Benjamin Siegrist, Bosun Lawal, and Oh Hyeon-gyu have all completed permanent Parkhead departures this summer.
Another man who is set for the chopping block is Gustaf Lagerbielke.
Speaking at Lennoxtown this afternoon, Rodgers admitted that the Swedish defender isn’t in his plans for the 2024/25 campaign.
Despite this admission, the gaffer had nothing but praise for the way Lagerbielke goes about his business.
“To be fair to Gustaf, for him to go and play is important”, Rodgers told CeltsAreHere.
“It’s been a difficult move for him, but I have to say he’s been absolutely brilliant.
“I recognise how difficult it has been for him, for at times not to be on the bench, and to be training here with a small group on a Saturday morning or a Sunday morning.
“He’s not been in my plan to play, but he’s been a great teammate and a real privilege to coach. He deserves an opportunity to go and play.”
These comments from Rodgers come after there was reported loan interest in Lagerbielke from Herenveen and KV Mechelen.
The 24-year-old looks likely to leave Glasgow before next Friday’s transfer deadline, but to where remains to be seen.
He isn’t short of suitors which is positive, but it is up to any club to reach an agreement with Celtic.
