Celtic are a ‘real danger’ amid ‘massive’ late-window transfer boost – Kenny
Celtic are proving themselves a “real danger” on the pitch – and that has given them a “boost” in the late stages of the transfer window.
So says ex-Premier League goalkeeper Paddy Kenny, speaking exclusively to Football Insider ahead of Celtic’s clash with AZ Alkmaar on 26 August.
Ange Postecoglou‘s side could make it seven wins in a row with victory in the Europa League play-off round second leg in the Netherlands.
The Hoops have scored 24 goals in their last six matches, including a 6-0 win over St.Mirren last Saturday.
Celtic have signed eight players for a combined total of approaching £18million this summer.
And Kenny predicts that their stellar recent form could give them a big advantage in the closing throes of the summer window.
He told Football Insider correspondent Adam Williams: “It will definitely give them a bit of help going in these last few days.
“St. Mirren went down to 10 men early doors, which didn’t help them. But it is the second 6-0 win they’ve had this season already.
“It will be massive for them and shows they’re a real danger in that league. They are showing that to everyone.
“As long as they are doing that, top players will be interested in signing for Celtic. They’ve got some good players in already.
“So it could be interesting looking at what they do in these last stages of the summer.“
