Brendan Rodgers makes Celtic Park return

Former Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has made a return to Paradise this afternoon.

The Leicester City manager is currently on his winter break in Scotland, likely enjoying some golf a few days after his 49th birthday.

Supporters spotted the Irishman arriving at the ground and a photo of him engaging with fans has appeared on Twitter.

Rodgers was at the Celtic helm for two and a half years. The ex-Liverpool manager won seven trophies in a row, an Invincible Treble, a 69-game unbeaten run and numerous other successes before being replaced by Neil Lennon when he left for Leicester in February 2019. Supporters will likely recognise how impressive Rodgers’ time at the club was and a lot of people realised that there were issues at a boardroom level that lead to his departure, which was emphasised by the off-field mess of last season.

Rodgers has enjoyed success with Leicester, finishing fifth twice and winning an FA Cup; however, he will likely be unable to match the intensity of the Celtic job wherever he goes.

Celtic will be hoping to put on a show after former Celt Malky MacKay helped secure a 3-3 draw in Dingwall earlier this afternoon.
