The pledge Brendan Rodgers could fulfil at Celtic in 2024/25

After winning a domestic double in his first season back at Parkhead,

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers will be eager to expand on that accomplishment.

Once the transfer market opens, he will likely place a strong premium on hiring new players and determining the future of marginal players;

Hence, movement in both directions before the upcoming season is anticipated.

Rodgers needs to bolster the team in order to be ready to lead Celtic on all fronts.

To succeed even more, he will have to perform a juggling act between Champions League competition and domestic pursuits.

The current Scottish Premiership winners prioritize outsourcing talent over winning.

but according to the Irishman himself, there may be one more prophecy that he will be able to fulfill in the upcoming season.

Back in March, Rodgers outlined a vision at Celtic centred around making space for academy players to make the jump and develop into senior stars at Parkhead,

referencing the process as something that will be a ‘key point’ of his second spell in Glasgow.

He explained: “My life has always been about bringing young players through.

We have some really talented players. We have to create a pathway for them; that is the biggest thing.

That is a real challenge at a big club, but I inherently believe in young players.

Even if your squad is not loaded with them, you still need your homegrown players to step up.

In the event that there is no path, they search elsewhere.

That’s why I advocate for cutting down on the size of my team in order to focus on developing young, highly skilled players for your football plan.

“You see the likes of Danny Kelly and Rocco Vata,” the Irishman continued.

Although Rocco hasn’t had many opportunities, he is at least working with us every day.

being a member of the squad, and performing incredibly well. There will undoubtedly be more players who step up. The main focus of my stay here is that.

Rodgers is correct; prodigies will move somewhere to develop if there isn’t room at Celtic—this is a theme that has persisted in previous years.

For instance, Daniel Kelly and Rocco Vata combined for eight appearances in 2023–2024; nevertheless,

Neither player has ever started a senior game for the team [Transfermarkt].

However, they both scored their first goals against Buckie Thistle and Dundee, respectively,

showing that the management has already taken some minor integration measures.

With neither of them having signed new contracts, if the club can resolve their futures,

who’s to say they can’t go on to become important members of the squad in 2024–2025?
