Former Celtic and Hibs midfielder Jackson Irvine has labelled Brendan Rodgers as someone capable of 'doing it at the highest level' as he jetted into Glasgow to sign a three-year deal at Parkhead.
Ange Postecoglou's departure to Tottenham signalled the end of a short but sweet tenure at Parkhead, with the Australian leaving for the riches of the Premier League after a five-trophy haul from a possible six in his time at the Hoops. Celtic fans could have feared the worst, but it is a situation that has seen the return of an already-accomplished boss in the Scottish Premiership - not often can that be said for a manager appointment at either Celtic or Rangers.
Rodgers comes back to Celtic Park after two fifth-placed finishes in the Premier League, an FA Cup triumph and a Europa Conference League semi-final, before last seasons' tumultuous season saw him leave at the beginning of April. However, despite his recent shortcomings, Irvine believes Rodgers is one of the best in the business.
