Celtic need to invest in squad — Rodgers

-

CELTIC need sustained investment in their squad to compete against top teams in the Champions League, manager Brendan Rodgers has said after his side lost to Germany’s Borussia Monchengla­dbach on Wednesday. The defeat left the Scottish champions bottom of their Champions League group, with only one point from three matches. They have an upcoming fixture at Monchengla­dbach on November 1 before hosting Barcelona and end their group campaign at Manchester City. “There are certain attributes you need and of course that does cost you money,” Rodgers told British media. “That will be up to the club and our recruitmen­t to look and try to find these players. We know that availabili­ty and affordabil­ity figures, but it is something that will happen over a period of time ... No matter how good we might be there are still elements we need to compete consistent­ly at this level.
