The guitar, the drums, the piano, even the trumpet – there are myriad instruments I'd have placed ahead of the accordion, and yet this is the musical instrument Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers once had an aptitude for in his formative years.
This revelation surfaced ahead of Celtic's 0-0 stalemate with Dundee United at Tannadice, when a special Sky Sports segment saw school-age reporters quiz the Hoops manager and their captain Callum McGregor.
After a string of questions pertaining to what it's like winning trophies to which members of the dressing room are the best and worst dressed, one reporter asked the pair: "Do you have a hidden talent, and can you show us what it is?"
McGregor laughed and passed the query over to his manager, saying "I hope this one is for you."

Rodgers took a moment to consider the question, before saying: "When I was younger, I used to play the accordion, believe it or not.
"But I haven't played an accordion for years. Other than that, I don't have a lot of talent, never mind hidden talent."
