This week, Hugh Keevins raised concerns about Celtic’s lack of transfer activity, pointing out that only two players have been added to the team so far. He criticized the club for being slow in making new additions, especially with the delay in Paulo Bernardo’s permanent return after assisting the winning Scottish Cup goal at Hampden ten weeks ago.
When discussing Rangers’ ability to sign needed players this summer, Keevins praised their efficiency, but was corrected by Jim Duffy, who emphasized the different levels at which both clubs are operating. Duffy explained that Celtic is targeting players of a higher caliber to compete in the Champions League, whereas Rangers have been signing project players with potential.
While fans may be frustrated by Celtic’s lack of movement in the transfer market, Duffy’s comments echoed Brendan Rodgers’ belief in prioritizing quality over quantity. Rodgers is confident that the Portuguese midfielder will soon join the club, emphasizing the need for patience among supporters as the club works to secure top-tier players.
Despite Keevins’ criticism, it seems that Celtic is on track with their transfer strategy, focusing on acquiring players who can compete at a high level. It’s just a matter of waiting for the right signings to be announced, and fans are encouraged to remain patient as the club continues to build a strong squad.
