HOOP SCHEMES

Big guns to return as Celts keep irons in fire

- BY MICHAEL GANNON

BRENDAN Rodgers is ready to roll out his big guns this weekend - as the Celtic boss admitted he's stepping up his search for more firepower.

The Hoops are chasing several targets with Royan Antwerp's £5m-rated Michel-Ange Balikwisha and Rapid Vienna's Isak Jansson high up on his wishlist.

Rodgers would love to have new faces on board as his side head for warm weather training in Portugal.

Celts saw off Cork City 2-1 in Ireland last night with two different XIs in either half.

The Hoops' international crew including Kieran Tierney and new boy Benjamin Nygren were still on ice - but will be unleashed against Estrella in Lisbon this weekend.
