Kenny Dalglish insists Celtic could achieve something “really special” if Brendan Rodgers can hold on to his key players but admits “money talks in football.” The Parkhead, Liverpool and Scotland legend heaped praise on the Hoops players for going toe to the with Spanish giants Atletico Madrid but admits despite the 2-2 draw - their first point in the Champions League group - they are likely to finish bottom of their section.
But Dalglish can see definite signs of improvement in the likes of Kyogo and Matt O’Riley on the big stage and believes they can grow under Rodgers IF they stay together.
But he knows that’s easier said than done. Dalglish, writing in his Sunday Post column, said: “It would be great for Brendan Rodgers to think he could have the players he wanted to keep for the whole of next season.
That could lead to something really special. But money talks in football. He will look to to strengthen in the January window and will have players in mind and will want them in as soon as possible. “It would be wonderful for the Celtic fans if they thought this team could stay together for another 18 months.
