Brendan Rodgers and his overflowing Celtic inbox as 5 major Parkhead issues need addressed IF boss returns

Former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is the clear frontrunner to take over from Ange Postecoglou at Parkhead.

Rodgers won all seven major Scottish trophies he competed for during his first spell as Celtic boss and completed an unbeaten campaign during his debut season back in 2016-17 - and has set himself a high bar to surpass should a deal get over the line. The Parkhead hierarchy have already held talks with the former boss and majority shareholder Dermot Desmond has stepped in to try to seal a return for the manager to the Scottish champions.

Rodgers' decision to leave for Leicester City midway through a campaign has been heavily criticised by some sections of the Celtic support but the mood music appears to be changing as an appointment edges closer. While the Northern Irishman would be taking over an all-conquering side, that does still come with some issues for the boss, while he will have his own goals of improving on his previous stint.
