Chris Sutton has raised valid concerns about Celtic’s transfer business this summer. Despite Brendan Rodgers avoiding discussion about the “toxic” issues surrounding the club, fans and media are echoing the same sentiment – the squad needs improvement.

With only three signings made so far, including a left-back to compete with Greg Taylor, the reigning Scottish Premiership champions find themselves lacking in key positions. Negotiations for players like Adam Idah and Hugo Bueno have stalled, leaving Celtic with only one fit striker in Kyogo Furuhashi.

Sutton expresses bewilderment at the slow progress in transfers, emphasizing the importance of having a strong squad in place well before the start of the season. The former Hoops player stresses the need for quick action, especially with the team being weaker now than at the end of the previous campaign.

While acknowledging the challenges of the transfer market, Sutton urges Celtic to make necessary signings promptly to avoid last-minute scrambles and uncertainties. The focus should be on strengthening the squad efficiently to compete at the highest level, rather than waiting until the eleventh hour to finalize deals.
