Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers wants quality not quantity


Celtic were linked with moves for Everton’s James McCarthy and West Brom and Scotland midfielder James Morrison this week but transfer deadline day passed without another addition to Rodgers’ squad.
The Celtic manager had brought in West Brom’s Cristian Gamboa the previous day to join earlier summer signings Moussa Dembele, Kolo Toure, Scott Sinclair and Dorus de Vries.
