Celtic deepen feeder club relationship as Brendan Rodgers meeting revealed

Celtic feeder club Admira Wacker have revealed a club delegation held talks with Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers last week on a visit to Glasgow.

The Scottish champions have established a link-up with the Modling side, who have been Austrian champions nine times, but are currently sitting in mid-table in the second tier of the Austrian Bundesliga.

Celtic have already loaned Scotland Under 21s international defender Matthew Anderson and goalkeeper Tobi Oluwayemi to them this season.

And a representation from the club met with Rodgers and Celtic officials before attending the Champions League draw with Atletico Madrid.

Admira Wacker sports director Peter Stoger said: "It was about us having discussions about how we can continue to develop cooperation between the clubs.

"You look for win-win situations where everyone benefits. And Celtic are really very interested in the partnership.

"There's a good chance we can expand the partnership, but it won't happen overnight.

"We also had a meeting with Brendan Rodgers.

"The Atletico game was fantastic and Celtic Park is definitely one of the best stadiums in Europe with an incredible atmosphere."
