Rodgers Hints at Role Change for 25yo Celtic Star

In a move that has left Celtic short on defensive numbers, the club has decided to loan backup left-back Alexandro Bernabei out, making the squad appear vulnerable in that position. With Greg Taylor as the major option, there are questions about the team’s depth and readiness to meet future problems without proper coverage.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers addressed concerns, suggesting that centre-back Liam Scales might be repurposed to replace Bernabei’s role if

Taylor is injured.Rodgers told Celtic TV that he is confidence in his squad’s ability to cover that position throughout the season. ‘Lam Scales has played there, therefore we may have additional alternatives to play there.

Although some may perceive Bernabei’s loan as unnecessary risk, Rodgers’ reassurance suggests a larger vision and a lack of faith in the Argentinian’s ability to perform.

As Celtic prepares for their Scottish Cup clash against Livingston, they must overcome their league defeat last weekend and ensure their place in the semi-final draw on Sunday evening.
