Brendan Rodgers was backed by the board during the summer transfer window as Celtic brought in a number of players to bolster their playing

The Hoops manager lost key midfielder Matt O’Riley, who left to sign for Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion, but was able to bring in a host of fresh recruits,

Arne Engels, Paulo Bernardo, Auston Trusty, Adam Idah, Alex Valle, Luke McCowan, Kasper Schmeichel, and Viljami Sinisalo were all snapped up by the Scottish giants.

So far so good for Celtic and their new signings as they have won all nine of their matches in all competitions this season, including keeping six clean sheets in six games in the Scottish Premiership.

Trusty played a part in the last clean sheet, against St Johnstone, as he made his full league debut for the club, following on from his £6m movefrom Sheffield United during the summer transfer window.

Rodgers and Celtic will be hoping that the USA international will go on to be a roaring success for the Scottish side, in the same vein as the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Kristoffer Ajer, rather than struggle – as Christopher Jullien did after his big-money switch to Parkhead.

In the summer of 2019, the Hoops reportedly splashed out a fee of £7mto sign the central defender from Ligue 1 Toulouse to bolster their defensive options for Neil Lennon.

The former France U20 international had played 99 times in Ligue 1 during the previous three campaigns and this meant that Celtic brought in a centre-back who had proven himself in a major European league.
