It was the line that sent a shudder up the spines of Celtic fans and should have removed some of the element of surprise that followed a few weeks later.
Brendan Rodgers' infamous quote, “We’ve got a million wingers, we don’t need another one” had jaws on the floor in the Parkhead press room back in January 2019 after youngster Marian Shved checked in. Little over a fortnight later chins were hitting the deck again when Rodgers departed for Leicester City, but let’s not go over that old ground for the millionth time. That’s all water under the bridge now Rodgers is back. But it is pretty funny that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
The returning gaffer had a look under the bonnet before he came back last week and he liked what he saw when it came to the set up behind the scenes at Celtic. He’s far more comfortable with the recruitment side of things than he was towards the end of his first reign and content to give the green light on some of the signings that were already in the pipeline.
