Harald Brattbakk reckons a Brendan Rodgers return can prevent the same dramatic disruption at Celtic as happened to his squad when Wim Jansen suddenly quit.
The former Parkhead striker believes continuity is crucial in smoothing the club’s latest big managerial transition. Ange Postecoglou’s defection to Tottenham just three days after winning the Treble was a huge blow to the squad, most of whom were signed by the Aussie.
Brattbakk knows exactly how the players will be feeling. He was taken to Glasgow by Jansen, only for the boss to leave just a couple of days after the Norwegian attacker had scored the decisive goal against St Johnstone to win a title and ensure the Dutchman stopped Rangers winning 10 in a row in 1998. Following the departure of Jansen and his assistant Murdo MacLeod, Celts won nothing the following season.
