Celtic fans are desperate to hear transfer news about the club this week.
As the clock on transfer deadline day ticks down, Celtic supporters are keen to see if the likes of Kasper Dolberg will join the Bhoys this summer.
Brendan Rodgers has been driving home a serious message to the Celtic board all summer as to the work needing done to strengthen the Hoops first-team for the season ahead.
And after Celtic’s draw with Rangers yesterday, there was another ‘message’ Rodgers sent that fans will have missed after BBC Scotland’s live feed dropped out in the middle of his post-match interview.

Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic transfer deadline day ‘hope’
The Celtic boss was despondent at the lack of creativity shown against Rangers at Ibrox and Rodgers will be keen to address that on transfer deadline day.
Rodgers was asked on BBC Radio Scotland about any potential transfers Celtic could make on before the window closes tonight at 11pm.
The Celtic manager said, “No, no. None whatsoever. Because what I told you beforehand, I was at the game and I haven’t had any updates.
“But we hope, we’ve only got 24 hours to go, so we hope that we can get the front line…”
And that is where the live feed from Ibrox dropped out. However when the full interview was released on The Scottish Football Podcast, Rodgers’ transfer ‘message’ was clear.
Brendan Rodgers will ‘hopefully’ bring in transfer reinforcements for Celtic
When asked where the squad will be at the end of the transfer window, Rodgers continued [20m 43s], “I’ll tell you at the end of the window.
“Well, no. Every single day will fight to be the very best that we can be, and the players that are here will give their absolute all to improve and develop and improve performance level.
“But we need to, I think that’s the message, because from where we were this time last year to now, it’s a long way off.
“So we need to improve in many aspects. And like I said, hopefully, we can bring in the players that can support us in that.
“And also that attitude to go on and play and play with no fear and play with that belief. And that all comes really when you carry that threat at the top end of the pitch.”
It doesn’t sound like Rodgers is too confident about deals getting done and Celtic fans will be hoping that will not be the case.
With the 11pm deadline looming, Celtic will need to get a move on and add that quality Rodgers is after.
Because after watching that performance against a poor Rangers defence, Celtic clearly need players in who can unlock defences.
