Overview
- Wilfried Nancy remains under threat after five defeats in seven, with figures such as ex-CEO Keith Wyness casting the upcoming Rangers derby as pivotal to the manager’s standing.
- Brendan Rodgers signalled Al-Qadisiyah will strongly support him this month, as reports link the Saudi club with a move for Celtic captain Callum McGregor.
- Financial adviser Stefan Borson said a Saudi switch could deliver McGregor roughly four times his net Celtic pay due to tax advantages, while warning residency rules could complicate the benefit.
- Celtic are preparing January business, with Nancy targeting a right-sided centre-back, a right wing-back, a right-sided wide player and a striker, and with Jocelin Ta Bi reported available for about £2.5m plus a sell-on.
- Manchester City are reported to be planning the recall of loanee Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, potentially forcing Celtic to recruit a defender early in the window.
