Talksport host Jason Cundy dragged Celtic into his response to Manchester United’s exit in the UEFA Champions League. Erik ten Hag’s group have been crushed 1-0 by way of Bayern Munich at Old Trafford to end with four factors and Cundy ravaged them for their performances.

However, the assessment with Celtic is laughable. Ten Hag has spent nearly £500m in three switch windows and cannot compete with the wealth of the English Premier League. Celtic had been drawn into a team with the Dutch Champions Feyenoord, Italian facet Lazio and Atletico Madrid. Meanwhile, outdoor of Bayern, United have been up in opposition to Galatasaray and Copenhagen. The Danes qualified into the Last sixteen of the competition, taking three factors off of United. Celtic can fit their factors tally with a win in their remaining team fit against Feyenoord on Wednesday evening.

It is terrible that Celtic are close to that dialog on that basis however the dig is founded on the foundation that Celtic are (still) as having a European pedigree.

‘Can’t understand’ Pundit is shocked that Celtic’s £4.3 million summer acquisition is not beginning this season

‘Can’t understand’… Pundit is taken aback that £4.3m summer season signing is no longer starting for Celtic this season

When Celtic followers watched their membership spend massive money this summer on Maik Nawrocki, they would have predicted the Polish defender to be a first pick out for Brendan Rodgers.

Unfortunately, the 22-year-old was injured early into this season and even although he is returned to full fitness, Rodgers has defined why Nawrocki has yet to be considered in a Celtic jersey.

But that has nonetheless left Stephen McGinn taken aback that Rodgers is taking part in Nat Phillips ahead of Nawrocki even via the on-loan defender is actually miles off the tempo in terms of fitness.

McGinn stated [The Go Radio Football Show], “Celtic without Carter Vickers in the league, I don’t comprehend what the stats are, but I mean there’s a dramatic drop-off.

“And what I can’t recognize from the previous day is how a momentary mortgage in Nat Phillips, how can he be a great deal better than Nawrocki.

“I’ve watched Legia Warsaw against Aston Villa and I thinking they were an tremendous side. Really held their personal and beat Aston Villa in Poland, deservedly this season.

“But I’m thinking Nawrocki was a huge section of that team remaining season, and I’m questioning a younger participant they spent a lot of cash on how can Nat Phillips be the choice different than Nawrocki”

I said on TBR Celtic yesterday that Phillips wants to be immediately dropped with the aid of Rodgers in favour of either Gustaf Lagerbielke or Nawrocki.

Unfortunately, the Polish defender is now not accessible for the final Champions League match towards Feyenoord however I would have no hesitation in throwing him in towards Hearts this weekend.

After all, the £4.3m signing couldn’t do a great deal worse than Phillips who appears to be on his way lower back to Liverpool when his temporary mortgage deal ends this month.

But with recent reports suggesting Nawricki could be loaned out in January, maybe the ship has sailed for him this season underneath Rodgers.

Another team has now formally offered to sign a “outstanding” Celtic player in the bidding battle – report

One Celtic player is starting to come to be a target remote places beforehand of the New Year, with any other club making an offer for his services.

Celtic switch update

The Hoops have been busy over the summer following Brendan Rodgers’ return to Parkhead, with a range of additions being made in multiple areas of the pitch.

Alongside all the arrivals, there were also some departees, and the club without a doubt made a profit in the summer, mainly due to Jota’s big-money exit to Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad. As nicely as Jota, Celtic additionally obtained prices for Carl Starfelt, Albian Ajeti and Conor Hazard, and via the looks of things, the club ought to soon convey in cash for another player in 2024.

Celtic outcast Yosuke Ideguchi made the cross again to Japan until now this year, joining Avispa Fukuoka back in February. Since then, reports have claimed that the J1 League prefer to secure his services on a permanent deal.

However, in a new Celtic switch update from Japan, relayed via The Glasgow Times, the Hoops have already obtained an provide from Avispa Fukuoka and now fellow Japanese aspect Vissel Kobe are also stated to have made a “formal offer” for the midfielder.

Yosuke Ideguchi’s profession at Celtic

Ideguchi arrived in Glasgow returned in January 2022 and is under contract until 2026, however, things haven’t worked out for the Japan international. He has ignored a variety of video games via damage due to the fact placing pen to paper in Scotland and has made just six senior appearances in inexperienced and white. His injury problems have endured while on mortgage at Avispa Fukuoka.

Former Greuther Furth boss Damir Buric previously heaped reward on the player, though, saying:

“In regards to Yosuke, I can only speak the best. He is an exquisite individual with top notch character. First of all I was very impressed with the way he got here returned from that serious injury. What impressed me most was once the way he was working for the duration of his time out with the injury.

“It was simply unbelievable, nearly like soldier. He confirmed such a remarkable attitude and high-quality approach. He was extraordinarily disciplined, took in each and every additional coaching session of bodily rehabilitation and invested all of his time in getting returned as quickly as he perchance could.”

He appears to be a player with quality when fully fit, however, unfortunately, Celtic haven’t viewed that model of the participant enough, so a everlasting exit ought to make sense for all involved in 2024, whether that be with Avispa Fukuoka or Vissel Kobe, making this one to watch.
