‘Time to deliver, or else!’ Gordon warns his team-mates

CELTIC goalkeeper Craig Gordon warned his teammates that they could be on their way to the Parkhead exit doors as early as January if they don’t deliver on the park for Brendan Rodgers.

The Celtic manager is planning to be extremely active in the January window and his desire to improve the squad was underlined yesterday by the poop, poor performance at Easter Road where Hibs won 2-0 and very few Celtic players performed to an acceptable standard.

“It’s up to the manager to decide what he wants in his squad and the positions we have to improve on,” Gordon said to the media.

“The guys who are here have to step up and make sure they are in the manager’s plans, especially leading up to January.

“So it’s up to us to make sure our performances are good because at a club this big, if you’re performances are not up to scratch for a period of time then you can get replaced.

“We have to make sure we work hard enough to stay in the team and deliver the results the manager, the club and the fans want.

“Do I expect him to be busy in January? I don’t know, I don’t know what his plans to bring players in are.

“I think he will want to do that but we will have to see what happens when that time comes.

“We will see who comes in and who goes. Then we have to start the second half of the season looking to go on a run again.

“There are a lot of games and we are going to have to use a lot of players. We’re going to have to try and have a strong end to the month now.

“There are still a lot of games and a lot of points to play for between now and then.

“We have to look to take as many as we possibly can to put us I a good place for the second half of the season.”
