There will be a variety of factors going on over Rodgers and his contract, going by the level of backing he has had since returning to Celtic it would be a shock if he signed up for more of the same.
We’ve lost a lot of goals so we need to replace that. Hopefully this can be one of a number of players we can bring in that aspect. He’s got intensity and work rate. It’s something the scouts have seen.
I think there’s work going on behind the scenes. It’s clear we need to improve the squad. A lot of work is going on behind the scenes, there are loads of names floating about.
I’m really excited by him (Nygren), he’s a forward thinking player, he’s got good legs, gets about the pitch and he’s showed up well since he’s come in.
It has worked well in the past, removes the question mark of his current contract running down and provides everyone with an element of security, as much as you are likely to get in 2025.
Rodgers’ signings played a huge role in earning the club £40m directly from UEFA. Throw in five home sell-out matches alongside hospitality spin-offs and bonus payments from sponsors and they have more than justified being signed.
Yes, listen, it’s up to the club. The club might think, three years is enough of me and that’s it bq1ut yes. I think one, we’ll speak around the team. And obviously, it’s always what is most important for Celtic.
So nothing changes. There’s absolutely no doubt, unless Dermot tells me differently in the summer, I will be excited and ready for the beginning of the season.
We always want to improve the team, improve the hunger in the team. That’s always key, you need the freshness. It’s either that or the manager goes, it’s simple, there’s no rocket science in it.
Recently asked about a contract extension for Daizen Maeda, Rodgers revealed that he had stated the case for that to Desmond, confirming to everyone that the current CEO isn’t involved in the key decision making.
