CELTS' SPENDING NEEDS A SPARK

Rodgers knows his squad isn't strong enough

- 

CELTIC supporters should hope for a Rangers' win over Panathinaikos in their Champions League qualifier.

It is no loss what a friend gets in everyday life.

But in the Old Firm's parallel universe a place in the group stage of the most prestigious European competition for their greatest rivals would be seen as a provocation by the other lot.

It would intensify the Hoops fans’ desire to see a higher calibre of player brought into their club, where the first-team squad remains weaker than it was last season.

For instance, the only way Adam Idah will get the 30 goals per season he promised last week is if they extend the campaign into the summer months.
