The Hoops boss is yet to add to his squad as they kicked off pre-season with a draw at Ayr United
The champions are yet to announce any new arrivals while across the city rivals Rangers have been very active. The Hoops returned to pre-season action last night as they played out a 1-1 draw with Ayr United at Somerset Park. Focus now turns to the midweek trip to Mount Florida to face Queen's Park before jetting out for three games against DC United, Manchester City and Chelsea.
Speaking following the draw with Scott Brown's troops in Ayrshire, Rodgers gave an update on the transfer front. He explained: "Yes, absolutely. We could have had nine players in by now if we wanted, but it’s all about the right players that we want. Asked if he hoped to have new signings in place for the USA, he added: "That’s the plan. I think every manager would like them in on the first day, but what’s most important is the players we want are targeted. We know what we want to bring in to improve the squad and I’m sure over the coming weeks we’ll conclude the deals.”
He is currently starring at the Copa America for Canada and he played his role as his country reached the semi-final stage by defeating Venezuela on penalties. They will go head to head with Lionel Messi and Argentina in the last four for the second time in the tournament having lost out 2-0 to the World Cup holders in the group stage.
