“Celtic Manager Brendan Rodgers Remains Upbeat on Summer Signings, Emphasizing Patience and Potential for Improvement”

Brendan Rodgers remains optimistic about the potential of his summer signings at Celtic, emphasizing the need for patience as players adjust to new surroundings. Despite a substantial investment exceeding £20 million during the last transfer window, only Luis Palma has firmly established himself, with others like Paulo Bernardo making recent progress. However, players such as Gustaf Lagerbielke, Yang, Kwon, Odin Thiago Holm, and Marco Tilio have faced challenges in leaving a lasting impact.

Rodgers, expressing a desire for “quality” reinforcements in January, recently secured Rapid Vienna winger Nicolas Kuhn for £2.8 million. While a new left-back and striker are also priorities, the manager believes in the potential of his summer acquisitions. He points to Liam Scales as an example of a player who has emerged positively this season after a period of adaptation.

Highlighting the key area for improvement in the second half of the season as consistency, Rodgers acknowledged the challenges faced by younger players adapting to a new country, culture, and expectations. Despite initial struggles, he praised the progress of players like Scales and Bernardo, expressing confidence that their consistency and mentality will contribute to elevated performance levels, as evidenced in the team’s recent four-game improvement.
