Celtic switch business has been the challenge of scrutiny in latest weeks.
Alan Stubbs wonders whether or not four Celticstars are of the nice to take the champions up a gear.
The former defender has been observing on amid a challenging stretch for the Hoops. Transfer commercial enterprise has been broadly criticised following a gradual January window bringing in just striker Adam Idah from Norwich City and winger Nicolas Kuhn from Rapid Vienna.
A 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock at the weekend allowed Rangers to leap beforehand into first, with Stubbs aiming his critique at four Celtic players. Left-back Alexandro Bernabei, midfielder Paulo Bernardo and striker Oh be a part of Kuhn on his poser list.
While Bernardo is on loan from Benfica, Bernabei cost £3.75m, Oh came in at £2.75m and £4m was once spent on Kuhn ultimate month. That’s a blended rate of around £9.2m pounds, and Stubbs does not accept as true with any of the quartet are of the popular Celtic require.
He told PLZ: “If Celtic have their high-quality XI on the pitch then it’s a different story but they have to go with what they’ve got. Just seem at their bench from Saturday – Oh, Kuhn, Bernardo, Bernabei – and I’m no longer certain whether or not they’re gamers who can take them to the next level.
“I’ve been perplexed with some of the signings and this ought to be the bit that bites them on the bottom in phrases of their recruitment policy over the past 18 months due to the fact Ange has gone.”
A key Premiership conflict awaits Celtic this Sunday. They journey to Motherwell hoping to have a chance to slim the gap, but they will need Hearts to take factors off Rangers at Ibrox on Saturday.
