As Brendan Rodgers’ first season back in the Parkhead dugout draws to a conclusion, Celtic is still vying for two titles.
After defeating Aberdeen on penalties last weekend, the Bhoys advanced to the Scottish Cup final. They will take on Rangers at Hampden next month to compete for the oldest trophy in association football.
Despite this, Rodgers will assess where he can bolster his team in the summer, and once the transfer market opens, a few priority will probably take precedence.
Due to Joe Hart’s retirement from professional football, Glasgow’s east end will need to find a new number-one goalkeeper. In the interim, choices over whether to attempt to recruit Paulo Bernardo or Adam Idah on a permanent basis will also be made.
In the unlikely event that we are unable to sign Idah, there could be room for another center forward to challenge Kyogo Furuhashi for a starting spot in 2024–2025.
Sammie Szmodics, an attacker for Blackburn Rovers, is reportedly up for grabs, and Celtic is one of the teams vying for his services, according to sources from The Sun earlier this month. Fulham, Brentford, and Luton Town are among the Premier League teams interested in the Republic of Ireland international.

Many commentators on the sport have hyped up the possibility of Celtic acquiring Szmodics in the summer. Peter Grant asserted that given his stellar play this season, the 28-year-old may fetch up to £10 million.
