Jackson Irvine hails 'great' Celtic Brendan Rodgers move as former Hoop puts new boss at 'highest level'

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.
