Rodgers joined the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast on Thursday to share the latest from Celtic Park, and he said: We probably wont be doing too much business.There are going to be a few guys who will probably go out on loan, and there are key areas where we want to bring players in, but whether we can do that or not, we shall see.There is always communication with other managers and Ive already been on the phone this morning and someone who is looking at one or two of our players.Thats how it is throughout the day. Quizzed by Hoops fans Alan Brazil if he is looking to specifically sign a defender before the 12am deadline, Rodgers coyly added: Were looking for good players, Al!Its no secret there are areas we want to be better in.The difficulty I have here is I have good players and over the last couple of years they have developed and improved so well, theyve been absolutely brilliant. So for us to bring in players better than that, that costs money.2

Rodgers has admitted he wants to sign players ‘in key areas’ before the midnight deadline

The other problem we have up here is the market is so difficult. Its difficult for us to get players from the Championship with the money thats there down south.The club have always been very supportive about bringing in players, but it is difficult.But January is still a window where you can get a really, really good players, but it will always cost you.Listen back to Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above!
