2 in, 1 out: The January business Celtic simply must do

There really hasn’t been much to moan about for the Celtic fans in the Transfer Tavern this season, such is the nature of Brendan Rodgers’ impact at Parkhead. 

The Hoops are currently on a wonderful run in the SPFL and have already landed some silverware in the shape of the League Cup this season.

Rodgers leading the Bhoys into a bright new future is a hugely exciting notion for the punters propping up the bar.

With that in mind, having conducted excellent summer transfer business, the fans simply cannot wait for the January window.

Both Moussa Dembele and Scott Sinclair have had wonderful impacts upon arrival, much to the delight of our Glaswegian locals.

It’s clear the new regime will build a strong base with some astute business as they look to improve on all fronts, particularly in Europe.

So, with that in mind, here’s a closer look at the New Year business our Celtic supporting drinkers want Rodgers to make.

IN: Jordon Mutch

The Crystal Palace playmaker has been linked with a move to Parkhead, playing largely on the periphery of the first-team in south London.

Though Tom Rogic has been hugely impressive in the No.10 role, there’s little option in backing up the Australian in that berth.

Mutch is technically gifted, even if his career has stalled since leaving Birmingham, and seems like the sort of player who would flourish under Rodgers.

OUT: Kris Commons

A stalwart of success under previous regimes, Kris Commons’ trophy-laden spell in green and white looks like fizzling out when January rolls around.

Former boss Neil Lennon is reportedly keen on luring the 33-year-old to Hibernian and the former Derby man hasn’t even featured since March.

A wonderful servant to the Bhoys, but all good things must come to an end.

IN: Darlington Nagbe

Another attacking midfielder has been linked with a move to Celtic Park, this time in the shape of Portland Timbers ace Darlington Nagbe.

Spotted in the crowd during their Champions League tie with Barcelona, the American international’s potential move to the club has even been given the seal of approval by Rangers legend Kris Boyd.
