A big summer transfer awaits Celtic and Brendan Rodgers on all fronts.
From those who enter the club, including those who possibly head for the exit door, as Celtic have accepted big-money offers for key players in previous years.
Many of the Celtic Park faithful would have heard of the San Francisco 49ers name being branded around Glasgow of late.
That’s because the 49ers Enterprises are looking to takeover Rangers, as they try their best to stop Celtic’s dominance in Scotland.
The 49ers are also the owners of Leeds United, who recently earned promotion to the Premier League, by winning England’s second division with 100 points.
With that Premier League money set to hit their back pockets, the 49ers are expected to be busy in the transfer market, and Celtic could be a target for all the wrong reasons.

Celtic are on course for the Treble this season, with Aberdeen only standing in their way of glory ahead of the Scottish Cup final later on this month.
Nicolas Kuhn, Daizen Maeda and Cameron Carter-Vickers have all been key players behind Brendan Rodgers’ success in his second spell.
But transfer expert, Graeme Bailey, has shared that Leeds have been watching Celtic’s key players in action ahead of the summer transfer window re-opening.
TBR’s chief correspondent claims Leeds are keen on signing Kuhn, Maeda and Carter-Vickers and have watched the Scottish champions on several occasions since the turn of the year.
Mind games from the San Francisco 49ers amid Rangers links?
Celtic fans, even those within the club, won’t be surprised at the interest in their key players.
At the end of the day, look at what Celtic are winning, the performances in the Champions League, and the goals they have scored.
