Jack Lyons has been praised along with former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers by Leicester City’s James Maddison. The England midfielder named ex-Celtic scout in his post match media interview after a win over Chelsea as he discussed his recent form.
The rise of Lyons is quite remarkable. Lyons started an online tactical blog that caught the interest of Brendan Rodgers during his time in charge of the club. Rodgers then brought Lyons into the fold as an opposition analyst at Celtic Park.

Rodgers was such a fan of Lyons that in July 2019, he tempted him down to The Premier League. Now, Lyons is highlighting his skill by adding to the game of highly rated young players like Maddison.
Celtic supporters are meanwhile watching on as Brendan Rodgers works wonders with Leicester, turning them into genuine title contenders. Lyons meanwhile is improving his craft with The Premier League leaders and Celtic may rue the loss of an intelligent operator in the modern game.
