The Celtic manager has hit back at the fans and pundits in the media who are moaning Celtic don’t have enough players at this stage of the season.

Fans on social media as well as pundits have bemoaned Celtic’s lack of activity in the transfer market, arguing the club should be more equipped to deal with the hectic Champions League qualifiers.

With suspensions, injuries and World Cup duty it’s another season where Celtic are flying by the seat of their pants and banking on Rodgers’ genius to navigate the choppy waters ahead.

When asked again about the lack of transfer activity or in the depth of a position the manager came out swinging.

“People talk about lining up your ducks but they are never going to be all aligned. That’s the reality of it. It is probably easier to write or say if you lose a centre-half you should have another one.

“I think people expect you to have 10 centre-halves. Football doesn’t work like that in the real world.

“It might do on the computer games and whatnot but it doesn’t work like that.

“You have to build a squad but if you bring people in and they get injuries then it is a challenge.

“You can’t moan about it. You just need to get on with it as best you can.”
