'Don't be fooled': Celtic sent clear squad depth warning ahead of summer window

Chris Sutton thinks Celtic need to sign at least four players this summer. 

The outspoken English pundit, who spent six years at Parkhead as a player, also reckons there isn't enough strength in depth in Brendan Rodgers' squad. 

It remains to be seen who may depart Celtic this summer, although Sutton reckons the club need four new arrivals on top of Kieran Tierney, as he sent a clear transfer warning: "They need another striker, a winger to replace the injured Jota and I think they could do with a couple more first team players," he said [Record].

"People at the club might look at Pittodrie the other night and believe there is already enough strength in depth.

"I’d say, don’t be fooled. Aberdeen were hopeless. We know what the likes of James Forrest, Paulo Bernardo and Luke McCowan can do.

"It was a special moment for Johnny Kenny getting a goal on his first start, but does he have what it takes to be a major player next term?

"I’m not so sure. He’s young and needs to develop, but if there are a couple of injuries, he’s not ready to hang the hat on in the Champions League or a big domestic clash."

Celtic round off their 2024/25 Scottish Premiership campaign when they welcome St Mirren to Glasgow's east end later this afternoon. 

They will get their hands on the league title for the fourth consecutive season as Rodgers racks up his fourth piece of silverware since returning north of the border.
