Brendan Rodgers is on the brink of a sensational Celtic return after in-depth chats with Dermot Desmond including making a mark in Europe, according to a report.
The former Liverpool and Leicester City boss, who departed the club four years ago, is on the verge of becoming Ange Postecoglou's successor after a big push from the Scottish champions to get the 50-year-old back in the door.
Chief executive Michael Nicholson was joined by finance director Chris McKay in Mallorca last weekend for face-to-face talks after making the trip by private jet to discuss a potential return with the No1 managerial target. Club supremo Desmond also made personal phone calls to the Northern Irishman in a bid to talk him out of his plans for a year long break.
