Would £14m for one player really be good business for Celtic?

Moussa Dembele was the target for autograph hunters in Austria but Brendan Rodgers (inset) will hope he doesn’t attract a big-money offer from another club during this transfer window. that’s understandable.

But the most important thing for Brendan will be that no irresistible bids are tabled for his main players, such as Moussa Dembele and Kieran Tierney. He will also want to see Stuart Armstrong sign a new contract.

If he can continue to work with the guys from last season, then Brendan will feel they have a very good chance of having a successful Champions League qualification campaign to land the club another financial windfall of around £25 million.

So keeping the squad intact will be his priority. To lose any key players will become a problem.

He’ll want to see Leigh Griffiths fully fit and challenging Dembele. He’ll want Callum McGregor and James Forrest to kick on even more. He’ll look to Scott Brown to show the same desire and leadership qualities from last season when he was inspirational.

He’ll study his central defenders and decide on a partnership between Simunovic, Sviatchenko and Boyata. If he has all of that, he can then tweak round the edges, here and there.

Don’t get me wrong. Every manager is always looking to improve his squad and will always want to add one or two bits of quality.

Brendan and his scouting staff will have identified targets and there may well be that marquee signing lined up that the Celtic supporters crave.

Good on them if they do so and good for Scottish football.

At the moment Brendan and his players are in Austria, preparing for the Champions League qualifiers.

New signing from Aberdeen Johnny Hayes is with them and, by all accounts, has settled in well.

Another recent addition is Kundai Benyu from Ipswich Town, a promising 19-year-old midfielder.

Brendan’s son, Anton, is also at the training camp and has played in the friendly games.

He has just been released from Swindon Town and has been given facilities by Celtic to train in a bid to prepare him for his next move, probably back down south.

I don’t see anything wrong with Anton being invited in by his dad.

I worked with my own son, Paul, during his playing career when I was a manager.

It’s not an easy thing, for sure, because it’s hard for a father to have a son there.

But as long as everyone is fair to the boy and treats him properly, that is the most important thing.
