Brendan Rodgers must be getting seriously tooled-up for this Celtic return. If you are a fan, that has to be the most-exciting part of the appointment.
Rodgers is not going to put himself back into the position unless he genuinely feels he can do something in Europe and seriously fancies giving Rangers another severe going over. You can’t delete the past and I’m not going to attempt to. I’ll get to that. But first thing is first. The big positives.
I actually really admire the fact Dermot Desmond seems to have ignored any potential issues over fan unrest when making this move. It’s as if he’s thought: Brendan Rodgers is the best man for the job. That’s who I am getting and I’m not bothered by what anyone else says or thinks. Strip away the furniture and what has gone before and, looking purely at the candidates and his previous record at the club, there is probably no doubt Rodgers was the stand-out man Celtic could get.
