Brendan Rodgers’ new-look Celtic are causing trouble all over Europe, and our Bhoys supporters here at the Transfer Tavern are already excited by the club’s prospect under his tutelage.

Rodgers needs to build a new side with his image and authority stamped all over Parkhead.

For him to achieve such things, he must ensure some players are chopped from the squad.

The former Liverpool boss has already wielded necessary changes at Glasgow club, and his quick passing, high tempo and movement have caused some problems for some of Europe’s best teams – including Manchester City.

Can Celtic finally recapture a European crown? Maybe not but with Rodgers at the helm, it’s their best chance of finding glory not witnessed since the days of Martin O’Neil and Henrik Larsson.

With all this taken into consideration, here are THREE players that Rodgers must sell to move the club forward in European competitions.

Emilio Izaguirre

The current form of Kieran Tierney ensures that Izaguirre will not get a look into Rodgers’ first-team anytime soon.

Tierney has been sensational since finding his feet at the club, and recent performances against Manchester City further excite our Celtic locals here at the Transfer Tavern.

Izaguirre has played over 250 times for the Bhoys but his career at the club looks set to be bench bound unless he forces a move away from Parkhead.

Efe Ambrose

The title of the Titus Bramble of Scottish football indeed goes to Efe Ambrose.

The Nigerian international is unlikely to be ever taken as a serious contender for defensive duties whilst at the club remains.

His four years at the club have produced a number of calamities.

With Brendan Rodgers keen to strengthen in defensive areas, Ambrose is not the typical defender the Northern Irish man should be considering.

Kris Commons

With age clearly not on his side, it may be time for Kris Commons to consider a career in the MLS and enjoy one last payday.

The Scotland forward has been an inspirational signing for Celtic in his five years at the club.

64 leagues during that time will see him acknowledged as one of the best in recent times by the punters here at the Transfer Tavern.

Injuries and the form of other players are keeping Commons warming the Celtic bench with his future already decided since the arrival of Brendan Rodgers in July.
