Celtic are expected to make some changes to their squad over the summer.
Celtic coach John Kennedy believes that qualifying for the Champions League could be decisive for the club this summer.
The Bhoys were unable to qualify for Europe’s premier club competition this season, but they hope to get to the group stages next time around for more reasons than one.
Celtic are famous for the atmosphere they create on continental nights at Parkhead, and Kennedy thinks that they will be able to convince higher profile players to join them if they have such occasions to offer prospective employees.
Celtic are likely to bring in a few new additions this summer as Ronny Deila endeavours to bolster his squad, but he won’t want to make too many changes.
The Bhoys have dominated Scottish football in the 2014/15 campaign, tasting League Cup and Scottish Premiership title success, and they have improved considerably as the season has progressed.
Celtic’s squad appear to have formed a strong bond and Deila will be determined not to break that by making a flurry of additions.
The Norwegian boss has also expressed a desire to give some of the club’s youngsters more of a chance in the next campaign, so it is likely to be a case of quality over quantity at Parkead this summer.
