After he lost only twice in 2024 in all competitions – Rangers and Borussia Dortmund – Celtic this year has suffered six defeats.
Rodgers feels that they have lost the advantage after leaving the Champions League against Bayern Munich, but in the summer it was always set to strengthen, especially after the club replaced the attacker Kyogo Furuhshi.
“It’s all about improvement,” said Rodgers, who has already secured the return of Kieran Tierney of Arsenal for a pre -speaking apology.
“I think naturally what you have in our club is a natural slide of players who move out and come every three or four years.
Kieran Tierney will return to Celtic this summer
“So I think it happens naturally. It’s the nature of our model here. But it’s also the nature of players here and maybe they’re either looking for them to move on, or want to leave the pressure here. Because three or four years of it is a lot of pressure.
“We must always be ready to replace all the players who are going. But apparently the improvement is important to us.
“We always want to improve the team, improve the hunger in the team.
“It’s either it or the manager is going. It’s so simple. There’s no rocket science. You can’t be in the club for a long time with the same group of players.
“Likewise, the same group of players needs a different voice. But at the moment it will be about improving the team.
Celtic in January did not sign a replacement for Kyogo
“I think there is a necessary change. The freshness, the new energy coming to your team that alleviates any such satisfaction.
“So we bring the players to challenge the team and the team for the summer. That’s natural in any team.
“However, this team does at the end of the season, we want to improve it. The team needs competition.”
Rodgers expects a positive reaction after he claimed in Perth that his team had “comfort” he didn’t like.
“There is no doubt that the gap in the league, and maybe it may have come out of the Champions League, just took a slight advantage,” he said.
“So that’s thinking that I have to continue working in the group to improve it.

The most important points of the Scottish premiere, because Celtic with the highest table is defeated by the bottom club ST Johnstone!
“It’s understandable. But I also know that last year, when it was tight, you saw an advantage in the team. You saw it at the beginning of the season, the edge of the team, when it was tight and everyone starts with zero points. As we can drive and find this consistency and quality.
“But I don’t want it to stop it. And I want us to continue this mentality.
“I understand why sometimes not. I will not forget how well they did. But I can’t accept what it was last week.”
