Celtic Eyes Europa League Glory Despite Slim Odds
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has underscored the significance of the club's Europa League campaign, expressing ambitions for a deep run in the competition. The Bhoys, who have a strong home record in Europe, face an uphill battle statistically, with a 1% chance of lifting the trophy and a 22% chance of reaching the quarter-finals, according to the Opta supercomputer.
Rodgers has highlighted Celtic's robust defense as a key asset, but acknowledges the need for patience as new players bed in. The team's goal-scoring struggles this season are evident, having managed only eight goals in the Scottish Premiership and a solitary strike in three European matches. Recent high-profile departures in the forward positions have exacerbated the issue. However, Rodgers has moved to address this by signing Kelechi Iheanacho on a free transfer from Sevilla to bolster Celtic's attack and improve their scoring form.
Celtic's Europa League campaign kicks off with high hopes and a challenging path ahead. Brendan Rodgers' side will rely on their defensive solidity and the potential impact of new signing Kelechi Iheanacho to turn their fortunes around and make a meaningful run in the competition.
