We ‘appointed’ Brendan Rodgers as Celtic manager with two trophies won and European progress

With Ange Postecoglou gone, Brendan Rodgers is being heavily linked with a stunning return to Parkhead this summer as Celtic's manager search continues.

Just days after winning the Treble, Postecoglou departed Celtic after two years at the club, putting pen to paper on a four-year deal with Spurs in the English Premier League. A number of names are being linked with the vacant role at Celtic, but Rodgers is reportedly a main target for the Hoops with Dermot Desmond 'making two personal calls' to the 50-year-old to try convince him back to Glasgow.

Reports also claim Celtic chiefs held talks with the Northern Irish manager over a return to the Hoops in Mallorca. His first spell at the club provided multiple trophy success before he returned to England with Leicester City. But how would he get on in his first season back at the Scottish champions if he is to return? We simulated the 2023/24 season to try and find out.
