Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has looked settled since returning to Glasgow in the summer and now reportedly has a talented youngster in his sights as the January window approaches.
Celtic’s title hunt and January plans…
Celtic are in a commanding position at the top of the Scottish Premiership table and have the chance to extend their lead at the summit of the division to 11 points on Saturday, where they will take on Motherwell at Parkhead in their first match back after the international break concluded.
Of course, rivals Rangers will have two games in hand by the time Saturday’s round of Scottish top-flight matches conclude; however, building an advantage over their arch-rivals will enable the Hoops to heap added pressure on Phillipe Clement’s side in the hunt for the title.
Despite the ferocious nature of the festive period, Rodgers will also have one eye on January as he looks to bolster his squad depth. As cited by The Daily Record, the 50-year-old commented on his side’s plans for the mid-season window, stating:
“The notion now is to make sure we bring in better. You can get good players in January. But it’s availability and affordability.”
“But there is no doubt that if we’re to enhance the squad in January then we’ll need to bring in someone who is going to improve us.”
Bologna striker Sydney van Hooijdonk is someone the Bhoys have reportedly enquired about as they search for another striker. Meanwhile, Motherwell sensation Lennon Miller has also been mentioned as a young face who could come in to add another dynamic to Rodgers’ packed engine room.
