BREAKING:Brendan Rodgers forged a diplomatic path through the reaction to Celtic’s transfer window on Tuesday, both expressing his disappointment while reaffirming the positives of the club’s situation right now.

Rodgers has made no secret of the fact he had hoped for more business before the deadline, specifically with regards to a striker.

However, he also realises that his team have the chance to go 13 points clear against Dundee tonight and have a monster Champions League tie against Bayern Munich on the horizon.

The Celtic manager doesn’t want to derail that with a negative storm around the club of public blame and pointed fingers. As a prominent leader at the club, that’s a fair enough stance to take.

Some may question the diplomacy and wish for Rodgers to light fires on what went wrong with recruitment but would that help the situation? He clearly feels no.

Celtic move forward with what they have and, as stated, first up is the visit of Dundee. Jeffrey Schlupp could make his debut, Jota will have a big homecoming at Celtic Park and there’s hope for a reaction from the team to the recent 3-3 result at Dens Park.Hamish Carton and I were together on our YouTube show this morning to discuss all of the above and more.
