Brendan Rodgers Celtic blueprint will consign Angeball to history as John Hartson refuses to play hypocrite role

John Hartson believes Brendan Rodgers has already drawn up a Celtic blueprint which will consign Angeball to history.

The former Hoops striker is convinced the Irishman’s second coming as boss will include a variety of tactical plans in stark contrast to predecessor Ange Postecoglou, whose 4-3-3 formation was cast in stone during his two seasons in Glasgow.

As Rodgers assesses the squad he’s inherited from the Australian, Hartson has told the supporters to expect the arrival of top quality signings and a change of on-field tact. He told Record Sport: “Brendan will bring in his own players, some managers inherit a squad and don’t have the budget to change things but the opposite is true at Celtic. He’s coming in with the intention of bringing new faces in and he’ll want two or three into the building who are his type of player. He’ll also tweak things slightly. Ange was stubborn with his 4-3-3 and was very successful with that.
