Brendan Rodgers sent Celtic love bombs by Dermot Desmond as billionaire makes 2 calls to No.1 next manager choice

Brendan Rodgers is weighing up the biggest decision of his life after receiving a personal intervention from Dermot Desmond to lure him back to Celtic.

Record Sport understands the former Invincible Parkhead boss remains at his family holiday home in Majorca where he is mulling over a shock return after Desmond persuaded him to meet face-to-face with chief executive Michael Nicholson and chief financial officer Chris McKay.

The top level delegation was invited to fly to the Spanish island after Desmond held two telephone conversations with Rodgers, during which he asked the 50-year-old to consider cutting short a planned year long sabbatical from the game following his sacking at Leicester. Major shareholder Desmond left Rodgers in no doubt about the strength of the club’s desire to bring him back to Glasgow, four years after he faced a furious backlash from supporters for leaving them for the King Power.
