The January transfer window officially opened on New Year’s Day. Celtic will surely be linked to a number of players throughout the month, and manager Brendan Rodgers anticipates a few additions.

The Glasgow derby last weekend saw Celtic defeat Rangers 2-1, and following that victory, the double-treble-winning coach made a statement. “Hopefully, we’ll have some of the injured players back and maybe one or two in the door,” he stated (Glasgow Times). After that, we continue for the remainder of the season.

Few people know where the aforementioned arrivals will be, though some educated guesses can be made. Given the connections to Tiago Araujo, the likelihood of Alexandro Bernabei leaving, and the fact that Greg Taylor has participated in nearly every game for the Hoops this season, left-back is probably the best option. In recent weeks, a number of attackers have also been connected to moves to Parkhead.

When we combine the two, we can get a vague idea of what Rodgers might be searching for this month. His team is strong already, but quality needs to be added and deadwood needs to be removed.

Fans will need to exercise patience while the gaffer sounds out possible additions for the second half of the campaign between now and then. After the St. Mirren match, there is a lull in the action during which we might witness some new arrivals come through the door.
