It’s felt like we’ve been waiting months, but Brendan Rodgers will finally be officially unveiled as Celtic’s new manager on Friday.
He’ll be quizzed at 4pm on his plans for a second stint in charge of the Premiership champions after agreeing to succeed Ange Postecoglou at the start of this week. He’s getting big money - both in his own hipper and his transfer warchest, so the expectations will be through the roof, especially after winning every competition he entered during his previous two-and-a-half year spell in the Parkhead hotseat.
Such a record would normally see a boss hailed as a returning hero. But the Brodge has bridges to build after jumping ship before 10–In-A-Row was completed last time - something the Green Brigade evidently still aren’t over. The rest of the Celtic support seem to be split between seeing the sense but remaining a bit annoyed with him, to delighted Postecoglou has been replaced with a manager even more successful than he was.
