Brendan Rodgers shares Celtic summer transfer plans and reveals the name of the players fans should be expecting

The Celtic manager has responded to Aberdeen’s victory over them in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park.
Brendan Rodgers anticipates that Celtic will enhance their personnel this summer following their disappointment in Aberdeen’s Scottish Cup final and the potential for another Triple Crown.

Before this year’s final, the Hoops manager had never suffered a defeat at Hampden Park. Celtic appeared to be on the brink of a victory after Alfie Dorrington’s own goal, which many believed would be theirs following Aberdeen’s faltering conclusion to the Premiership campaign. However, they rallied and levelled the score with a peculiar Kasper Schmeichel own goal.

Then, extra time elapsed without incident, with the exception of Jeffrey Schlupp’s clanging of the crossbar. Aberdeen’s players established themselves as legendary with their first triumph in this competition since 1990, as Dimitar Mitov saved penalties from Callum McGregor and Alistair Johnston.

“It demonstrates the anticipation of obtaining the three trophies.” That is undeniably present, and we are eager to adopt it. We consistently strive to fulfil this objective. Although it is not always feasible, it is an endeavour that is perpetually on one’s mind. As I previously advised the team, it is imperative to demonstrate contrition and extend congratulations to the opponent upon their victory, and to utilise this as a source of inspiration for the upcoming season.

He further elaborated on the contest, stating, “I believe that we were exceedingly sluggish.” We faced a back five, and they transitioned to a 5-3-2 formation during the contest. They conducted themselves in a manner that is occasionally employed by numerous teams against us. You must proceed at a rapid pace, maintaining tempos and runs. There was no sense of this; we did not generate an abundance of content or violate any boundaries. We were exceedingly secure. Occasionally, that is the outcome of the finals. Reo Hatate’s capacity to play forward and rush forward, as well as his ability to take off the back foot, was missed. I did not observe the velocity of our game; our cadence was inadequate to generate opportunities.

“I advised the players that, upon reviewing the game, we failed to perform at our best and adhere to our standards.” Therefore, we cannot assign responsibility to anyone, as this is a disappointment. We are only able to observe ourselves, but the larger picture encompasses two out of three domestic trophies. In Europe, there has been progress, and it is now time to head out with family. They will require them, and it is crucial to have the opportunity to contemplate. After a few weeks, they will realise that they missed the opportunity to win three trophies, despite the fact that they have consistently performed well throughout the season. Then, they will return with renewed motivation and renew the motivation.
