However, their form in Europe hasn&#8217;t been that great, with them failing to win either of their opening two games in the Europa League.<\/p>\n<p>So questions are being asked about Brendan Rodgers&#8217; future. The manager has less than a year left on his current contract and has not yet put pen to paper on a new deal. If nothing changes, he won&#8217;t be in the Celtic dugout this time next year.<\/p>\n<p>A recent meeting was also held between the club and fan groups, with Celtic chairman Michael Nicholson claiming that Rodgers had sanctioned all signings from the summer onwards that had not yet proven successful.<\/p>\n<p>Negotiations with Rodgers over his future are reportedly ongoing and there is still a chance he will stay, but there is certainly some uncertainty creeping in at Celtic.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, if it is the manager in charge of sanctioning transfers, the former Celtic man&#8217;s verdict on the current Premier League star should set Rodgers&#8217; ears ringing as he heads into 2026.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mulgrew-claims-mcginn-dreams-of-celtic-move\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mulgrew_claims_McGinn_dreams_of_moving_to_Celtic\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Mulgrew claims McGinn dreams of moving to Celtic<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>John McGinn still dreams of a move to Celtic after a move from Aston Villa failed to materialize in the summer, according to former defender Charlie Mulgrew.<\/p>\n<p>Mulgrew told talkSPORT:<\/p>\n<section class=\"emaki-custom-block emaki-custom-pullquote\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<div class=\"emaki-custom pullquote\" id=\"custom_block_13\">\n<div class=\"custom_block-content pullquote\">\n<p><em>\u201cListen, John McGinn would have wanted to go to Celtic.
