John McGlynn makes Celtic transfer argument after heavy Falkirk loss

John McGlynn says there isn't much wrong with the current Celtic team, despite supporters' desire for more signings to be made. 

His Falkirk team were put to the sword at Parkhead in the last 16 of the Premier Sports Cup on Friday evening. 

Strikes from Daizen Maeda, Alistair Johnston, and Dane Murray, combined with Liam Henderson's own goal, helped Brendan Rodgers' men to a 4-1 victory. 

Speaking post-match, although McGlynn praised Celtic for their display, he isn't so sure that any more signings are needed: "We were kind of makers of our own downfall," he said.

"But, as I say, I thought Celtic were very, very good. We need to learn from it, as I'm sure we will. 

"I know the Celtic fans are still wanting more signings, but there didn't look much wrong with that team tonight to me."

Asked by BBC Scotland whether his club could be busy in the market before their Champions League play-off against Kairat Almaty, Celtic boss Rodgers said: "I've just come out of the game here, so we'll wait and see. 

"We've named the squad, and then we'll wait and see what happens before the game. If not, that's the squad we'll go with."

When the interviewer tried to press for more, Rodgers bit back: "Okay, so let me repeat what I said, right? I've just finished the game. I haven't spoken to anybody for the game and during the 90-odd minutes of the game, I don't know anything. I don't know anything. 

"So, there might be, or there might not be. So, but we have the team that we have."
