Brendan Rodgers has sent a 'see you here in May' message to his Celtic critics as he begins life in his second stint in charge.
The new Hoops gaffer was officially unveiled on Friday afternoon after penning a three-year contract at Parkhead to replace Ange Postecoglou. He's off to the English Premier League with Tottenham after two successful years in Glasgow. The return of Rodgers has left some sections of the support unsure after his mid-season departure four years ago.
His exit for Leicester City promoted anger as he admitted it was one of the saddest days in life for him while he expressed his regret at any Celtic supporter that was hurt by his decision. He has vowed to see out at least the three years he has signed this time around unless he is 'emptied' by the club before then.

And for those in any doubt over his appointment, he has sent the a simple message. During an address to the Hoops faithful outside the stadium following his media duties, he said: "When I left here four years ago it was probably one of the saddest days of my life.
"I went on to a different challenge so I regret if anyone stood here or at home were hurt, as I know I hurt many people.
"But it's that very reason I am here today. So for those who are with me and always have been, let's enjoy the journey.
"For those who I need to convince, I will see you here in May. Thank you very much for coming, Hail Hail."
