Following Celtic’s victory over Queen’s Park, manager Brendan Rodgers provided updates on several players individually.
The Hoops secured a 1-0 win in their first pre-season friendly, with Johnny Kenny scoring the decisive goal. Rodgers revealed that Kenny’s future is uncertain after a £500k bid from Bolton Wanderers was turned down.
Additionally, Rodgers discussed the fitness of Cameron Carter-Vickers and Reo Hatate, confirming that they are ready to resume training following injuries.
Regarding Maik Nawrocki and Gustaf Lagerbielke, Rodgers announced that Nawrocki is set for a loan move to Hannover 96 while Lagerbielke is close to signing for Braga. He emphasized the importance for both players to secure regular playing time elsewhere.
Looking ahead, Rodgers hinted at potential opportunities for young defender Dane Murray, who made three first-team appearances last season. He expressed his preference for developing talent from within the club while also acknowledging the need to bring in another central defender before the transfer window closes.
Overall, Rodgers emphasized the importance of giving players like Murray a chance to prove themselves while also actively seeking reinforcements for the squad.
