Brendan Rodgers has been told a 'statement' Celtic signing will ease supporters' transfer groans. The Hoops lack of options has come somewhat to the fore after the weekend's off-script Viaplay Cup exit to Kilmarnock was compounded by the news that defenders Cameron Carter-Vickers, Maik Nawrocki and Stephen Welsh all face lengthy spells on the sidelines.
It leaves new boy Gustaf Lagerbielke the only recognised centre-half with Champions League clashes and a testing trip to face Rangers on the immediate horizon.
Rodgers insisted despite the blow that the Scottish champions won't be rushed in to slap-dash transfer business, after it emerged that Honduras winger Luis Palma was on the Hoops' radar in a £3.5million swoop.
Brondby forward Mathias Kvistgaarden has also been touted, but former Celtic star Andy Walker reckons only a statement signing will ease fears.
