Brendan Rodgers addresses the Celtic fanbase after a transfer window that saw five players leave and only two new additions. While acknowledging fan frustrations over Kyogo's departure and missed targets, Rodgers focuses on the strengths of the remaining squad and the club's commitment to improvement.
There were no thinly veiled pops at the board or throwing the toys out of the pram. But there was a diplomatic acknowledgement from Brendan Rodgers that his Treble-chasing squad looks undeniably lighter after shipping five out and adding just two fresh faces.
But the Parkhead boss refused to get riled up or deflect any heat onto the under-fire board or recruitment department - instead putting his full focus on getting the best out of his squad for the remainder of the campaign. While upset punters have vented their fury on social media, it's easy to forget that Celts did conduct some smart business in January with the captures of Jota and Premier League veteran Jeffrey Schlupp.
"I think you look around, of course there wasn't a great deal happening, but certainly all I was concerned about was for Celtic and what I needed to happen here. So we'll look into that and move forward. There are so many different facets to the transfer and obviously the identification of a player, then convincing the player to come, which in the main is never a problem for here.
