Brendan Rodgers has given an update on Celtic’s transfer plans with just over a month left in the window and Champions League qualifiers coming soon.

Celtic have brought in six new players so far, including Shin Yamada earlier today. But with Kyogo, Greg Taylor and Nicolas Kühn all moving on, there are still big gaps in the squad.

Many fans are now asking if the board will give Rodgers the backing he needs to bring in top-level players who can lift the team to the next level.

After winning a double and reaching the Champions League knockouts last season, expectations have grown. Rodgers knows the squad needs to improve again if they want to match or better that.

Supporters want more than just numbers in the door, they want real quality. The Hoops need players who can make a difference, especially with the rest of the league looking to catch up.

Even though six players have signed, it still feels like the team is short. Losing three regular starters has left Rodgers needing more options in key areas. Supporters are watching closely and hoping the club doesn’t wait too long. They want to see real ambition from the board in the next few weeks.

With big matches coming up fast, time is running out. The longer it takes to bring in players, the harder it becomes to get them up to speed. Rodgers knows this and says the squad needs help.

He said: (Sky Sports), “Yes, I still have a lot of work to do, but the guys that are training and working with us are doing so well. You see that today and they are all developing their fitness and participating in the games for us.

“I would expect us by the end of the window to have brought in players in certain areas of the pitch that we will need to go through a really long season, but it is an exciting season for us.”

Supporters are feeling restless. Some have already raised concerns that the current squad won’t be strong enough.

A big-name signing would lift the mood and show that the club means business. It would also give Rodgers the kind of player who can make a real difference in tight games.

There isn’t much time left before the first European qualifier. Rodgers needs to get deals done soon so new players can settle in. If they leave it too late, the team might be undercooked going into some of the most important games of the season.

All eyes now turn to the next few pre-season games. These matches will show where the team stands and how well the new signings are settling in. It’s also a key time for Rodgers to figure out what else he needs.

If Celtic bring in the right players, they’ll be well placed to build on last season and push on in Europe and the league. If not, there’s a real risk that others could catch up. The next few weeks are massive for Rodgers and Celtic.
