Brendan Rodgers has openly expressed his belief that Celtic has failed to obtain the necessary caliber of players to replace the departed stars, let alone strengthen the squad, throughout the previous transfer windows.

In recent months, the recruitment department has experienced a transformation, resulting in the dismissal of Mark Lawwell and Joe Dudgeon due to their responsibility for the significantly below-average acquisitions made in recent years. Goalkeeper remains a big concern as Joe Hart will be retiring when the trophies and medals are handed out next month, whereas we need a left-back, striker and another winger, with potentially one or two midfielders for good measure ..

One individual who has been mentioned in publications is Callum O’Hare, a prominent player for Coventry City. The central midfielder participated in an exhilarating cup football match last week, as his Championship team faced the formidable Manchester United. Although behind 3-0 at a certain moment in the latter part of the match, O’Hare and his other players fought back to equalize the score to 3-3 during the span of 90 minutes on that day.

Unfortunately, Callum did go on to miss a penalty in the shootout, but his quality was clear to see throughout the match.

According to TBR, Celtic is interested in recruiting the Coventry player for the upcoming season, since the statuses of Matt O’Riley and Paulo Bernardo remain questionable. O’Riley has garnered significant attention in recent times, while Bernardo is currently on loan to the Scottish team and Celtic are seeking to discuss the inclusion of an option-to-buy provision with his parent club Benfica.

With the possibility of one or possibly two of those individuals leaving, Rodgers will prioritize strengthening the midfield to prepare for such an occurrence. The player’s availability during this transfer window has attracted the attention of several clubs, including Burnley, Leicester City, Southampton, and our local rivals. In order to get a favorable contract, Rodgers and the recruitment staff will need to act quickly.
