As the new season approached, it was said that Brendan Rodgers wished to bolster four areas of the club. However, it turned out that the Celtic manager was unable to assemble individuals for two of those crucial positions.

The former Celtic striker Scott McDonald is now the favourite to enter the transfer market once more in January in order to bolster a vital first-team spot for the Celtic manager.

“They haven’t had that physical element, it’s quite a small in stature team,” McDonald told the Daily Record.

Celtic’s dominance in set pieces has been the key to their victories throughout Europe, but in recent years, that hasn’t been the case.

Celtic has utilised a very physical No. 9 in the past, including Samaras, Sutton, and Larsson.Because of his diminutive stature, Kyogo Furuhashi won’t pin people or hold it up.

“They may add another striker in January, but he needs support.”
