Celtic fans are increasingly anxious about the lack of activity in the transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.
Football Insider journalist and Scottish expert Daniel Bowers has highlighted this growing concern among the Hoops supporters on Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, describing the situation as causing “huge concern.”
Despite the transfer window being open for several weeks, there have been no senior signings by the defending Scottish Premiership champions, and there is “very little word” on any potential movement.
When Brendan Rodgers returned to the club, the expectation was that the experienced manager would have a significant influence on transfers. However, this has not yet materialised, leaving fans hoping to see evidence of change before the window closes.
Celtic need to strengthen their squad ahead of the Champions League:
This season’s Champions League poses a greater challenge due to the format change, which eliminates the safety net of finishing third in the group and dropping down to another European competition.
This places additional pressure on every game Celtic plays in the competition, especially with the increased number of matches in the forthcoming season.
One key reason fans are eager for new signings is to allow Rodgers time to integrate new players during pre-season, ensuring the team is prepared for the opening fixtures.
One player Celtic is attempting to sign is Adam Idah, who was on loan at Celtic Park last season and made a significant impact in the second half of the campaign. The forward, currently with Norwich City, is reportedly keen on a return to Celtic, but the move depends on whether the Canaries decide to keep him.
The urgency for reinforcements is palpable among the fanbase, who are keen to see fresh faces bolster the squad. The clock is ticking, and the pressure is mounting on Celtic’s management to deliver the necessary signings to enhance their Champions League campaign and secure domestic success. Fans will be closely watching the remaining days of the transfer window, hoping for the much-needed boost in their squad.
