A key area in the Celtic squad Brendan Rodgers wants to strengthen this summer is centre-back.
Cameron Carter-Vickers is tied down to a long-term deal but question marks have been raised over the credentials of Liam Scales.
The Irishman was dependable last term, but many fans think he can be improved upon. Supporters want to see someone drafted in who can challenge Scales for a first-choice central defensive spot in the team.
Dara O’Shea has been linked but amid English Premier League and Serie A interest, a deal is proving difficult to do.
Another name that has been previously mentioned is Scott McKenna. The Scotland international refused to rule out a move to Parkhead in June but he now appears on his way to Hull.
According to a report from Hull Live, the Tigers have held positive talks with the 27-year-old, and are hopeful a deal can be concluded amid initial discussions.
A free agent who would count towards their homegrown quota for Europe, Celtic signing McKenna makes sense.
He looks to be going elsewhere, though, raising question marks over whether Rodgers and Co were concretely interested.
Personally would have thought that we would have been looking at mckenna imo?
His wage demands seemed to be an issue?
But fail to see how Hull could better than what we could offer?
So possibly wasn’t within the plans of Rodgers whatsoever in the first place?
Anyway, still could be having Dane Murray as a potential challenger to scales in the making for a place within our squad?
But next season might be to soon, after such a long lay off with injuries for Murray?
So potentially Rodgers may be looking at a better quality CB than mckenna for the position within our squad for next season?
And in turn, looking at securing the left sided CB position for beyond next season also imo?
Not good enough for Celtic need a passer and ball winner O’Shea for me fast pass accuracy very good will see. Bernardo transfer is the longest I can remeber yes happy to get him but embarrassing to Celtic how long it takes them to get a transfer over the lime is it lawell or he he just there to take the flak of dermit Desmond boy if he can’t do the job get someone who can and let him learn of them I shudder to think what these people are sorting out if Bernardo wants to play for Celtic and Celtic want Bernardo I’m told it’s Bernardo end that’s holding back I can see it been ripped up
