The Premier League is reducing the number of teams that make large purchases through rich owners. Following victories in Rodgers’ first three seasons, Leicester realized that the Premier League was on their tails. Although the relegation was unexpected, it proved Rodgers was right to need the team to be upgraded.The Ireland team selected by John O’Shea includes Celtic’s Adam Idah and Liam Scales for their upcoming friendly against Belgium and Switzerland. After a terrible run under Stephen Kenny, the Irish missed out on qualifying for Euro 2024, but they will try to do well as the FAI considers their future manager.
Scales has emerged as a first pick at centre back under Brendan Rodgers this season after taking the opportunity afforded to the defender owing to absences at the back. Meanwhile, Idah has impressed after arriving on loan from Norwich City. In eight appearances, Idah has scored 5 goals and assisted on one occasion. Celtic will likely look to negotiate a deal to bring the Irishman to Celtic on a permanent basis.
