KRIS COMMONS has spoken to the BBC about Celtic’s failure to make the Champions League and believes the blame lies with recruitment rather than cash.
The board have been slaughtered since last night but not as many people have pointed the finger directly at Rodgers and his backroom staff.
Kris Commons believes in Peter Lawwell’s mind – he’s probably given Rodgers enough money.
“The quality isn’t good enough for a starting place in the 11,” Commons said.
“Everyone says he’s been crying out for defenders, but he signed two goalkeepers in Dorus de Vries and Scott Bain, two centre-halves in Marvin Compper and Jack Hendry, right-back Cristian Gamboa, he’s just re-signed Emilio Izaguirre…
“He’s had the funds to get good players but they’re not making any impact on the side. He has three or four that pass the mark – Scott Sinclair, Odsonne Edouard, Moussa Dembele and Olivier Ntcham.
“Peter Lawwell does not have a blank chequebook. Rodgers has spent around £25m on transfers – without signing-on fees, wages, agent fees – in 24 months. Lawwell probably thinks he’s given him enough.”
