You don’t build a team around one player but management involves getting the most from your resources. Providing chances for Kyogo should be more of a priority than adapting others into sync with Palma or Yang.
With European football ending in a tame 2-0 defeat to Lazio, sitting in mid-table in Serie A Rodgers suddenly started talking about his transfer aspirations, when he took on the manager’s job he wanted four quality signings- before losing Jota, Carl Starfelt and Aaron Mooy.
Within a fortnight of Postecoglou leaving Rodgers was back at the club but it is hard to believe that he is in charge despite his recent claims over recruitment.
Returning to Celtic in the summer surely things would be different, surely Rodgers had done his due diligence, especially with two Lawwell’s now in senior positions.

Back in August, before losing to Kilmarnock in the League Cup Rodgers explained that his role was to coach and develop the players supplied by the club. On his return he had highlighted the great work by Lawwell Mini, one of the factors that made him decide on another stint…

the Scottish press was invited to a largely off-the-record meeting at Hampden last week to give an update on how VAR has been going. What was clear from a meeting that lasted nearly two and a half hours was that Crawford Allan, the head of refereeing is trying to be…
About 75 minutes was allocated yesterday with the set up designed to ensure that the odds are stacked in favour of those on the podium who are generally being criticised, something that they aren’t accustomed to.
A focussed approach to recruitment is required- the big issue is whether Lawwell Junior knows of players over the age of 23 that can improve the Celtic team, over three transfer windows his only success so far is Alistair Johnston with half a dozen or more failing miserably.
