Brendan Rodgers in hilarious Celtic Spanish speaking gaffe as Charlie Mulgrew recalls ex Hoops boss' bilingual attempts

Charlie Mulgrew has recalled the time that the Celtic squad burst out laughing when former boss Brendan Rodgers tried speaking Spanish to them in training.

The Northern Irishman joined Celtic back in 2016, and instantly took the Hoops to new levels by winning every domestic trophy in his wake at Parkhead. The ex-Liverpool gaffer became a cult hero at Celtic Park, only to leave the Hoops for Leicester City in 2019.

However, his time in the east end of Glasgow is fondly remembered by fans and former players alike; most notably by Charlie Mulgrew, who has recalled a time when the boss randomly decided to start speaking Spanish in a training session in a bid to galvanise his players. Despite only being with Celtic for one summer under Rodgers whilst keeping fit to look for a new club, the Scotland international hasn't forgotten the training ground gaffe Rodgers blessed him with.
