Chris Sutton questions Celtic after what Brendan Rodgers recently said
The Celtic boss said the South Korean winger couldn't be sold because he is a starter. Sutton said [RecordSport]: "It was an honest answer to a straightforward question. "And it highlighted just where Celtic are right now. "Brendan Rodgers was asked the other night about Yang's future with Norwich City looking to land the winger on loan. Read more: "He said he can't even think about letting him go right now because Yang is a current starter. "Think about that. "No disrespect to the player. "He's shown some positive signs that he can be a decent enough squad player at Celtic. "But let's be honest, if you'd said a few months ago he'd be going out on loan, there wouldn't have been too many folk complaining. "Yet now he's a starter. "If that isn't a warning, then I don't know what is." Sutton also said the team is weaker than the one that finished the season, questioning why Nicolas Kuhn was allowed to leave without a replacement being lined up. He added: "What is going on here with Celtic? "The new season is a week away. "The Champions League play-off is just over four weeks away. "And the team is far weaker than the one that finished the season." Celtic kick off their league campaign next weekend with a clash against St Mirren.
