After the dust settles on Celtic’s title celebrations, the fans have the Scottish Cup final to anticipate next weekend. Should Brendan Rodgers manage to secure this final prize of the season, it would be the perfect end to what has been a successful year for the Celtic boss.
Written off by the media, Rodgers was determined to control the narrative about himself and his players. And indeed, he has managed to do just that.
Winning the title means Celtic will have automatic entry into the Champions League riches, causing concern for Barry Ferguson about their potential strength next season.
Ferguson worries about Celtic getting ‘stronger’ after facing criticism for not reinforcing the team properly in recent transfer windows. However, he strongly believes that Celtic will invest in quality players this summer to strengthen the squad.
The Celtic supporters and the manager both recognize the areas in need of improvement within the team. With players like Gustaf Lagerbielke and Maik Nawrocki hardly featuring and reliance on James Forrest evident, it’s clear that reinforcements are necessary. Additionally, with Joe Hart’s retirement, addressing these concerns becomes even more urgent.
Fortunately, with a sum of money from UEFA heading their way this summer, Celtic will have the resources needed for potential additions to the team. Brendan Rodgers will have the opportunity to enhance the squad for the challenges ahead.
