Celtic’s intentions heading into the January transfer window have been clear. Brendan Rodgers has warned that he wants to strengthen and he will make sure that they do that.

The Champions League results and their current lacklustre performances in the Scottish Premiership show that the team is lacking a spark and Rodgers intends to add that in just over four weeks time.

How many players the Celtic manager has his eye on is unclear but journalist, Mark Guidi, has said that he ‘knows’ that the club are active in the market already and is working on targets for a number of positions in the team.

Guidi said [], “I think he’s made it clear that they’ll be working on targets, in fact, I know they are working on targets now for guys for certain positions to get in the door.

“So Brendan Rodgers knows what’s needed, there’s no doubt about that. He wants to try, first and foremost, to win the league and then make an impact in Europe in some shape or form.

“There’s certainly got to be an improvement from the past two seasons in terms of results.”

TBR Celtic have already mentioned that Celtic need at least five first-team-ready players to make a material impact in the Champions League after Guidi said Celtic could spend up to £15m in January.

The lessons Celtic were taught in Europe were stark and Rodgers intends to learn from them. With Joe Hart, Greg Taylor and the requirement for a new striker all under the microscope, the Celtic manager will have his work cut out to make the necessary signings in such a short space of time.

But January will be a start and if Rodgers can bring in at least a few players he has earmarked then it will stand the club in good stead for Europe next season.
