Celtic have been backed to be active in the upcoming transfer window in a bid to bolster their squad after Brendan Rodgers’ assessment of their goalless draw against Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday (10 December).

Rodgers told TNT Sports, “The quality in the final third of the pitch wasn’t very good,” as the Hoops failed to break the deadlock.

This comes after previous comments by Rodgers which Paul Robinson told Football Insider was done to test the board in a bid to gain some finances in January.

Football Insider revealed that Celtic are unlikely to spend heavily in the upcoming transfer window due to not having the cash to inject into the squad.

That isn’t what supporters want to hear though, as the Hoops fans believe that adding some additional quality is exactly what the squad needs currently.

The Scottish giants are currently 19th in the Champions League table after the opening six games, having won two, drawn three, and lost once.

Celtic fans want the board to back Brendan Rodgers

Celtic are having a strong season and are still fighting on all fronts with a Scottish League Cup final next up for them.

However, supporters have urged the club to back Rodgers financially to add some extra quality to the squad moving forward.

Brendan's team needs a new paint job in attack!

Dreadful in the final third, can someone at the club point Hatate in the direction of the nearest opticians please, so many misplaced passes.

Shocking performance by Celtic tonight. A point at home to Young Boys will likely secure us top 24. We have to remember we got such an easy draw in the overall context of CL draws that we need to strengthen massively for next season. Zero creativity.

Young boys always was the must win for Celtic. I still expect a convincing win at home and hopefully a few new additions to the team to strengthen.

9 points 0 Goal Difference. 2 games to play one very much winnable at home. Would have bitten your arm off that in August. 🍀
