'More misses than hits' for £1-2m players - Rodgers

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers says he will "continue to push" for high quality additions with just over a week left in the summer transfer window.

Rodgers has brought in goalkeepers Kasper Schmeichel and Viljami Sinisalo, in addition to permanent moves for last season's loanees Paulo Bernardo and Adam Idah.

The Northern Irishman has been clear he wants more additions as he pushes to compete in Europe as well as domestically, and says the club might have to push the boat out in order to bring in the required standard of player.

"We would all love to buy a player for one or two million and move them for £30m," he said.

"Every club in the world would love to do that, but sometimes you have to pay a bit more to gain the extra quality that's needed.

"If you're always in that [£1-2m] bracket, there are more misses than hits. This is a massive club, it's still a huge draw and we're ambitious to be the best we can.

"We have resources that we can get the level of player that can help us. I'm not one to say 'only £7-8m players succeed', but I've seen it long enough to understand what it takes to get that extra little bit. That's something I'll continue to push."
