    And in theory that's fine, but in the last year and a half we've brought in Gamboa, Hayes, Benyu and Edouard- none automatic starters or top quality. So clearly there is also still an element of signing squad players- and I like that. I don't understand why we deny it so much, though.

    This is it mate I don't no because I generally believe that if the board weren't backing Rodgers he'd make it clear and even consider leaving which leads me to think Conington or whatever his name is and Rodgers are putting their eggs in one basket whether that be buying from England or buying one player and it simply isn't working and we don't have the necessary backup players in mind.

    As said we will have scouts all over the place looking at players during the months the window isn't open and recommending targets to go for so we shouldn't be here in the situation where we have two players in and * all else.

    I'm praying it's a Ntcham situation and out of the blue we will sign people but it's clear to see we need improvement in some positions and if we don't get that then it is a failing by the club

    I think we’ve got to the stage where it’s true but. If we sign a centre back and he’s not good enough to improve on Boyata, I’ll rage.

    Somebody (can't remember who) got it in one and said Celtic will try spin dembele Armstrong and jozo staying put as like 3 new signings. How right were they! If nothing else we should at least gets RB! Lustigs gone past it and I like him. I can call a spade a spade though. I like the look of Gamboa and ralston but if Lustigs still being used we need a new RB and to punt Gamboa

    " First of all , we have a great squad here, a squad who has done pretty well for me - and our first priority was to keep the squad together. We feel very fortunate to sit here on Febuary 1st and have the likes of Moussa, Stuart , Jozo still available for us. All good boys who i can trust to go and do a job for us in the second half of the campaign . With the likes of Paddy and big Tom coming back in it's exciting times. Of course big Marvin's experience and talent will be huge for us aswell. We did try and maybe get one or two more in but they have to be the right type, both the right talent and also the right mentality and attitude to play at Glasgow Celtic, so it's not always easy, you know. I could have bought ten players but it's got to be right for the club. In January , it's not ideal, not easy to do that. But as I say , I trust the boys here and I'm delighted to get to February 1st with us all still together "

    Disappointing window so far , the scum seem to be making good additions to their squad so there is no longer the huge gulf between the two teams . I would love to see us making a couple of good investments in the team to kick us on as the standard of our football has dropped this season and for once it would be great to see us build from a position of strength .
