Celtic… trust in… players ahead of… Read more

Celtic is planning to sign Adam Idah permanently after his successful loan spell, with PR focusing on his Irish background and previous success against Rangers.

Despite potentially having three Irish players—Liam Scales, Mikey Johnston, and Idah—in their Champions League lineup, there’s uncertainty about Johnston’s role as a starter.

Young Irish players like Rocco Vata, Bosun Lawal, and Johnny Kenny are at risk of being sidelined, similar to past players like Jonathan Afolabi and Luca Connell.

Vata, who recently moved to Watford, was seen as an ideal Celtic player but left due to lack of a new deal from the club.

Lawal impressed on loan at Fleetwood Town but is more likely to be loaned out or sold rather than play regularly for Celtic.

Rodgers previously doubted Scales’ potential, but after a successful season, he became a key player. Similar skepticism exists for Johnston and Kenny, the latter feeling disconnected from the club.

Despite Celtic’s historic ties to Irish players, current trends suggest a lack of trust in their potential, leading to players like Vata leaving for minimal compensation.
