Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has been forced to hold a team meeting following uncertainty about his long-term future at the club.
The Daily Record claims that the Hoops boss has spoken to his players following reports that suggested he was at loggerheads with the club.
I spoke to the players just to stabilise them a little bit. I think that, despite the noise, it’s important that the players understand the real story. I never once said that I was quitting Celtic. What I said was we wanted the squad to be stronger. So, collectively, in terms of spirit, we’re fine.
Celtic have endured a difficult summer, with speculation surrounding Dedryck Boyata refusing to go away.
The defender’s future has been one of the stories of the summer, with Lazio and Fulham both having bids turned down for the Belgian international.
Sevilla are the latest team to express an interest, with the La Liga outfit looking to seal a deal.
The Hoops have also struggled in terms of recruitment, with only free transfer Emilio Izaguirre following Odsonne Edouard through the doors at Parkhead this summer.
The claims are less than ideal for Rodgers, who will guide his Celtic side into a crucial Champions League qualifier on Tuesday night against AEK Athens.
