I sure am’: Journalist can’t believe Celtic haven’t tried to sign 28-year-old who’s tipped to go to Rangers

The Celtic supporters are eager to see Brendan Rodgers bolster the team with new players as the

transfer window closes. especially in light of the team’s display during the 1-0 victory over Ross County.

Celtic has been informed that there is a player they should be trying to sign to assist take the pressure

off the 29-year-old Japan international Kyogo Furuhashi, who looked frustrated after failing to score on

Saturday.

While discussing Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland, journalist Bill Leckie said that he is shocked

Brendan Rodgers hasn’t made a move for the Scotland international.

According to conventional belief, Lawrence Shankland would leave Hearts for the Rangers if he leaves,

Leckie told The Sun.

But is anyone else shocked that Celtic hasn’t moved after yet another performance as stodgy as the field

they play on? Since I most certainly am.

“In my opinion, Shankland is exactly what Brendan Rodgers lacks—a frontman to relieve Kyogo of the

load and someone who can turn all of their possession into victories that are far more convincing than

the ones they had against Ross County on Saturday.”

Leckie is not the first to suggest that the Hearts player should sign with Celtic. Rangers, Glasgow’s

opponents, are reportedly interested in Shankland due to his outstanding goal scoring record and have

scouted him four times already this season.

Since Shankland’s contract is scheduled to expire at the end of the following campaign, Celtic Park

wouldn’t need to pay a large transfer fee to get him.

Would he be the acquisition that calmed the Celtic supporters, though? He undoubtedly has a goal

sense, and with the quantity of opportunities Celtic generates, he might succeed under Brendan

Rodgers.

The Celtic supporters will be eager to see who Rodgers brings to the team to aid in the title run-in with

less than four days till the window closes.
