Celtic had a tough summer. Will they make amends.
Brendan Rodgers will ‘get what he wants’ in January at Celtic claims former striker John Hartson.
Making a prediction from his own personal belief, Hartson says he suspects the Celtic board have pledged to make amends for what he describes as a ‘messy’ transfer window.
A disappointing summer of incomings at Celtic was topped by a desperate late flurry of activity for loan deals and free agents, with star striker Moussa Dembele sold to Lyon.
Hartson told the Evening Times: “My own feeling is that you will see the atonement for this summer’s messy transfer window when we get going again in January.
“I think Brendan will get what he wants, obviously within reason, when the window opens again. I also suspect that there have been assurances from the club that will happen.”
He believes there is no chance of Brendan Rodgers walking away at any time for the Scottish champions.
Celtic have had a disappointing start to the season, eliminated from the Champions League at the qualifying stages.
Their league form has been patchy, sitting in fifth place, but above rivals Rangers, who they beat 1-0 at the start of last month to continue their run of Old Firm dominance.
If Celtic are planning a spending spree in January, it is more ominous news for Rangers.
