Meanwhile, Celtic have parted ways with Brendan Rodgers and appointed club legend Martin O’Neill. But the 73-year-old Northern Irishman has only been brought in as an interim solution until the management finds a suitable name to succeed the Northern Irishman in the long run. Rodgers and the board had disputes over transfer business throughout the summer, and the latter, therefore, must fix things in the upcoming window by bolstering the squad with competent signings. Why Celtic Should Bring Him In The Bhoys, on paper, are well-equipped in the middle of the park. Skipper Callum McGregor drives the show from the base as a deep-lying playmaker, and his vision, ball-carrying ability and distribution make him invaluable in Celtic’s set-up. Benjamin Nygren has been one of the most exciting summer additions, having exhibited his flexibility in various midfield roles. Also, Reo Hatate, Arne Engels, Luke McCowan and Paulo Bernardo are there among the first-team options. Having said that, the Hoops have struggled without McGregor as a ‘number six’. Neither Bernardo nor Engels managed to replicate his quality, but Watson, hailed for his high work ethic, versatility, energy, and leadership traits, could eventually become a worthy successor in the centre of the pitch. Greg Taylor was Celtic’s last recruit from Killie, as he was snapped up to replace Arsenal-bound Kieran Tierney. The Scotsman made significant strides as a left fullback before leaving for PAOK this summer, and the young midfield ace might make a similar impact if the champions win the race for his signature.
