IT ALL ENDS IN TIERS

Lack of ambition will get stands closed

THE blame game is on at Celtic after a transfer window that promised much but failed to deliver.

Brendan Rodgers is right.

about one thing. There is no use in finger-pointing at Parkhead - because everyone is at fault.

But there are some other parts of Rodgers' reasoning I can't get my head around.

He said perhaps Celtic should have been braver in the transfer market. I would ask why weren't they then? He also says it's his job to fix it. That's one I really don't get. The system wasn't broken in the first place.

We never heard a peep about struggling to bring in signings in the last couple of seasons under Ange Postecoglou, with no talk about how hard it was improving the quality or recruiting firstteam ready players.

Celtic just went and did it, whether it was Joe Hart, Kyogo, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Jota, Josip Juranovic, Daizen Maeda or Matt O'Riley. But somehow it's become Mission Impossible.

It's no wonder the supporters are losing patience. If they thought the booing was bad after beating Ross County, just wait for what's in store if results start to go wrong in the next couple of weeks.

There is anger in the stands building. But even worse, there is also apathy due to what they feel is a lack of ambition. If the supporters begin to wonder what is the point, we might as well be back to the Ronny Deila days when Celtic had to shut the top tier.
