Rodgers '100 per cent' certain Celtic will strengthen as he reveals January plan

Brendan Rodgers has never hidden the fact that he wants to bolster his Celtic squad during the January transfer window. 

The Hoops are yet to announce any incomings as of January 5, but Rodgers knows the Parkhead board are 100 per cent behind his plans to add players this month. 

"Just strengthen in general," the Celtic boss stated when asked if there were any specific areas he would like to improve.

"We know what it is we want to do, and I'm 100 per cent confident that the club will do everything to support that.

"It's important to have that freshness I think going into the second part of the season. So, yeah we have deals that we want to do between now and the end of January. Hopefully we can do that."

Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney continues to be strongly linked with an emotional Celtic return, with the Scotland internationalist's contract expiring in the summer. 

Asked about the rumoured interest, Rodgers simply said: "No, he's an Arsenal player, so clearly I won't speak about it."
