Celtic are strong in midfield but don’t rule out transfer moves this summer.

Celtic are set for a busy summer of transfer shopping and midfield may be one area they target.

It could be argued that Brendan Rodgers’ midfield is the strongest area of his team when his preferred three-man selection are fit. Callum McGregor has proven an inspirational captain and top performer on both the domestic and international scenes.
