Brendan Rodgers provides a clear explanation of Celtic’s transfer process at Celtic,

why Mark Lawwell is needed The Scottish champions’ player scouting and recruitment process

has been made transparent to supporters by Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers.

Much has been written about Rodgers’

satisfaction—or lack thereof—with the Celtics trade process.

It appeared to be a source of contention for the manager during his first stint at the team,

and there’s a sense that he wasn’t entirely satisfied with what happened this summer.

Though Head of Scouting and Recruitment Mark Lawwell was present,

Celtics manager Brendan Rodgers was more than

happy to discuss the process and make it clear that he takes responsibility for it.

Pundits and fans have speculated about Rodgers’ involvement in the hiring process.

“Listen, it’s something that’s natural,” he stated [Scottish Daily Mail,

23/11 print edition]. Particularly since we are a club without

a sporting director or director of football, people will always be curious.

However, this place and most clubs are really the same.

We ascertain the desired player profile.

The recruiting team then narrows that down to a specific figure.

After that, it is up to me to choose which ones are the best to bring in.

It’s that simple: we don’t bring the three if any of them are not up to par. It is quite evident.

That was one of the things I needed clarification on before I arrived and after I did. Nevertheless

Rodgers’ remarks are quite instructive and offer insight

into his thoughts on the transfer situation involving the Bhoys.

There have been attempts to portray Celtic as a split team at the moment.

Even so, one well-known columnist declared he

would be surprised if Rodgers was still in charge come next season.

But hopefully, as long as this messaging persists,

people will begin to realize that the manager of the Hoops is perfectly happy with the current state of affairs at the Scottish champions.

In other news, Celtic plans to submit a stronger bid for the striker, who is valued at £7.5 million.
