Peter Grant was filled with joy upon hearing Brendan Rodgers’ comments about transfers following Celtic’s victory over St Mirren. The team secured a comfortable 3-0 win, marking their first game without Matt O’Riley after his move to Brighton.
As the transfer deadline looms near, Celtic must act swiftly to strengthen their squad in various areas. The morning brought a flurry of transfer updates, but it was Rodgers’ post-match statement that resonated with Grant.
In an interview, Rodgers dismissed a BBC reporter’s suggestion of a £30m spending allowance, instead focusing on improving the squad by the upcoming deadline. Grant, a former Celtic player, expressed his satisfaction with Rodgers’ commitment to enhancing the team.
Grant praised Celtic’s depth on the bench, emphasizing the importance of having options to change the game. He highlighted the team’s struggles with injuries last season and their newfound ability to address weaknesses through strategic transfers.
Looking ahead, Celtic have reportedly made moves for players like Auston Trusty and Mateusz Bogusz. With Rodgers’ assurance of squad improvement, Grant remains hopeful that Celtic will address their deficiencies before the transfer window closes.
