Following a narrow victory in the Old Firm derby in December, Steven Gerrard has got Rangers fans dreaming of a first title since 2011.Currently, the club sit second level on points with their bitter Glasgow rivals Celtic.
4Timothy Weah (PSG)
Yes, the former Ballon d’Or winner and President of Liberia George Weah’s son is on the verge of joining Celtic on loan from PSG, with the 18-year-old preparing to fly to Dubai for a medical where the Hoops are training.Rodgers has been an admirer of the raw talent and potential Weah has in his arsenal, which became apparent after the player visited Rodgers with his representatives at the start of the domestic season to talk about the potential of a short term move to the Scottish champions.Weah, understandably falls a fair way down the pecking order at PSG, but training with Killian Mbappe and Neymar will have taught him a lot and the American could prove to be a key acquisition for Rodgers going forward. Since losing Moussa Dembele to Lyon in the summer, their threat in the attacking third has diminished slightly.Naturally, Weah will want to be used as a central striker but has often been deployed on the right hand side as a winger due to his pace and ability to beat a man one-on-one.Vakoun Issouf Bayo (Dunajska Streda)
4Oliver Burke (on loan from West Brom)
4Delighted to join @CelticFC for the rest of the season. Cant wait to get started! Looking forward to playing in Scotland — Oliver Burke (@OliverBurke55) January 5, 2019“He’s a talented young player but there has been a little gap of games for him,” West Brom boss Darren Moore said. “Celtic are a big club. He’ll be in the right environment and we’ll be keeping close tabs.“It’s vital he gets that development and understanding and we believe he’s at the right club to get it.”Celtic captain Scott Brown, meanwhile, has been linked with a move to Australian side Western Melbourne.Brown 33, has made 493 appearances for Celtic and his contract is set to expire in May this year. But it seems Celtic will be keeping their captain for the remainder of his deal as funding for Melbourne to nab their ‘Marquee signing’ was not permitted by the the Football Association Australia [FFA].
Potential Starting XI:
New faces mean strong competition for places. Burke, Weah and Bayo would be competing for places with Scott Sinclair, James Forrest and Odsonne Edouard, the top scoring player with 14 goals this season.Weah and Burke are versatile players able to play anywhere across a front line, with Burke suited to play a role in a midfield three for Rodgers if needed, which may well be the case going into the final 17 fixtures of the domestic season.Certainly the addition of more players capable of rotating with Edouard will give the Frenchman a much-needed rest given he has already played 32 games across all competitions so far.
