Brendan Rodgers' Celtic non negotiable named ahead of unveiling as road to redemption mapped out

Celtic fans would have been hoping to come into the weekend with a new boss after Brendan Rodgers unveiling - but the waiting game continues for the Parkhead punters.

Rumours were swirling on social media that the Northern Irishman was jetting into Glasgow to have his appointment officially announced on Friday - and that left fans tracking everything from flights to any talk on Twitter of an airport arrival. After the no show fans are moving onto the next date and as Celtic are a PLC they traditionally notify the Stock Exchange when there is a change in first-team manager - as they did when Ange Postecoglou left for Tottenham - meaning an appointment could be Monday at the earliest when the doors reopen for business.

While supporters have been desperate to find out news the controversial appointment has split the fan base - with some punters not quick to forget how he left the Scottish Premiership during his first spell. Rodgers ditched the Hoops for Leicester City midway through the campaign - leaving Neil Lennon to take over and seal a third consecutive Treble.
