Former Celtic star turned Sky Sports commentator Davie Provan has taken a massive swipe at the Celtic board for not being more pro-active in the transfer market.
The media man spoke about the need for more quality and used Edouard as an example of what the club can get if they spend big and proceeded to make an astonishing attack on the boards priorities.
“When Edouard reduced the anxiety with Wednesday’s equaliser, the crowd rose to applaud their record signing. I’m surprised punters could see it for the wool being pulled over their eyes.
“Too often it’s about the bottom line.
“Remember, this is a regime who took a home Champions League tie to Murrayfield in return for a nice wedge from Commonwealth Games organisers.
“There’s nothing wrong with balancing the books, but simple arithmetic tells you Celtic are rolling in cash right now. Where is that money going, because it isn’t buying players.”
Many view Provan as a man who sold his soul to the media after his football career was over.
It’s quite astonishing in a window where Celtic have broke their own transfer record there’s people shouting the board won’t back the team where they can.
Of course, Rodgers admits himself he’d have liked some more players in sooner but has yet to find the quality he’s looking for.
