Brendan Rodgers has transformed Celtic into a powerful team that has not tasted defeat in 24 matches of domestic competition. After 19 matches in the Scottish Premiership, Celtic are in first place with 18 wins and 1 draw, with the most goals scored, and least goals allowed.
Domestically, Celtic seem unstoppable and no team in Scotland can come close to besting Brenda Rodgers’ squad. However, there is definitely room for improvement, as Celtic crashed out of the Champions League group stage with no wins, ending out bottom of Group C. Yes, it was a very difficult group, but it has to be disappointing to not even salvage a third place spot.

Jozo Simunovic and Erik Sviatchenko are an incredible duo serving as the defensive backbone of Celtic. However, apart from the starting defensive duo, there is little quality in the bench.
Toure, Ambrose and Boyata just don’t have the quality to serve as a good replacement for the starting duo. If Brenda Rodgers can bring in one more solid center-back, Celtic would greatly enhance its defensive prowess. Furthermore, it would allow Rodgers the opportunity to experiment with different defensive formations, given the added player depth.
