After a subdued 1-0 victory over Ross County, the focus swiftly turned to Celtic’s transfer plans, but manager Brendan Rodgers was quick to dismiss any speculation.

His response to questions about potential transfers, made during an interview on BBC Sportsound, was terse and pointed, reflecting a clear weariness with the relentless transfer rumours.

Rodgers, usually more expansive in his comments, offered a blunt reply when probed about any possible player movements before the transfer window shuts. “Not unless you can tell me something I don’t know,” he said.

“Unless I’m a mind-reader and can read what people are thinking or doing whilst I’m concentrating on a game, I’ve got no answers for you.”

This reaction is indicative of a manager who is possibly frustrated with the constant speculation and rumours that tend to swirl around clubs during the transfer window. Rodgers appears to be more interested in working with the squad he has and achieving results, rather than getting drawn into discussions about potential signings or departures.

Celtic need to get a few more bodies through the door this January, with a left-back and keeper the priority. Fans would also like to see a goalkeeper brought in, but this will likely happen in the summer.
