Rodgers had been vocal about his frustrations with the signing policy at Parkhead during his final season in the hot seat before he made the switch to the King Power Stadium in 2019. John McGinn had been the club's top target when he was on the books at Hibs, before Aston Villa swooped in to snap up the player, with former Kilmarnock midfielder and free agent Youssouf Mulumbu brought in to plug the gap.

Things appeared to be reaching boiling point with the Celtic Park decision-makers following the addition of flop winger Marian Shved - one of the final players to be signed while Rodgers was in charge.
