BRENDAN RODGERS seems to be bracing Celtic fans for more departures this summer speaking from the club’s training camp in Austria.

The level headed Irishman was asked about Ryan Christie and Scott Allan’s situation as they both get put through their pre-season paces.

The manager did little to suggest that either of them are in his first team plans at the minute and more than hinted that at least one of them being moved on if they don’t make a big impression in the next few weeks.

Not only that but if he can’t guarantee them game time the player’s themselves will want to seek another opportunity.

“The two boys have come back and my duty to them is to make sure they are at their highest level fitness wise.

“Then we’ll see over the course of the pre-season. Both players have looked very good.

“When I look at Ryan’s situation, it was to get him out and get him stronger. The Aberdeen loan was perfect for him.

“It’s partly where these boys see themselves as well.

“I might want to keep them but if I can’t give them as many games as they want it’s difficult.

“But both boys have come back looking strong and looking fit and have done very well.”

Allan spoke of making a permanent move to Hibernian this summer but that is yet to materialise.

While Ryan Christie has spoke of his determination to finally make his Celtic breakthrough. It’s going to be tough!
