Charlie Mulgrew names one position in the Celtic squad he thinks Brendan Rodgers isn’t ‘completely satisfied with’

Celtic have managed to build a very strong squad over recent years.

Brendan Rodgers has already bolstered his ranks this summer following the additions of Kieran Tierney and Ross Doohan.

Benjamin Nygren is set to be confirmed in July, and Callum Osmand could also follow through the Celtic Park doors.

On paper, it seems like the Hoops don’t have a weak spot, but Charlie Mulgrew has identified one position that he thinks the Celtic manager will be concerned about.

Charlie Mulgrew thinks Brendan Rodgers wants another centre-back

With their attack locked and loaded for the 2025/26 season, defence is the one area that may raise question marks.

Cameron Carter-Vickers has had Premier League interest but is one of the first names on the team sheet and it will need a huge fee to prise the US defender away.

However, Mulgrew thinks it’s that second centre-back position that may have alarm bells ringing for Rodgers.

“I get the feeling that he’s not completely satisfied with Trusty or Scales. But then it can change,” admitted the former Celtic defender in the Daily Record.

“I’m sure Brendan Rodgers will be assessing that and seeing who’s the best fit to play.

“That’s the good thing about Brendan Rodgers, he’s always keeping people on their toes by knowing if they don’t perform, they’ll be replaced.”

How much Celtic have spent on defenders since Carl Starfelt left

Centre-backs aren’t easy to find in the market and since Carl Starfelt left, it’s been hard to find a first-choice partner for Carter-Vickers.

Liam Scales and Auston Trusty have chopped and changed this season whereas Maik Nawrocki seems out of the frame.

Others have tried and failed beforehand and since the Sweden international’s departure, £13m has been spent on the three additions above, as well as Gustaf Lagerbielke.

With plenty of time before the start of the season, there is still time to get a new body in.
