Great business and a top manager who knows the club. We also have to remember, the same supporters who were calling him a fraud wound be the same ones calling for him to be sacked if results weren’t going our way (there was already mumbling at how we were playing before he left) It’s easy to forget that we as fans are just as unloyal when it comes to our managers.

So many supporters selfishly and somewhat stupidly miss this point so kudos to you. Managers are supposed to be unreservedly loyal till discarded!? Hello! So long as they give their best while at the club them moving on before in most cases being inevitably sacked is all a reasonable person can expect. I miss the Ange Celtic experience a lot but it would always have a time limit and need to move on and he has left the club in a strong position in so many ways.

[@struandonald1599]

Excellent presentation Hamish, I have no issues with Brendan Rodgers coming back as manager and when Ange left, I really didn’t think we would get another premiership manager in place as a replacement. I don’t think that what Ange has done is any different than what Brendan did, yes the timings were very different but Ange said he was here for a long time, but yet he has walked away from Champions League Football for money.

[@Spirit-Of-The-Age]

Well said Hamish about this appointment being seen from the players perspective. They will be both relieved and delighted with Brendan now taking over. He did after all manage over some of the biggest names in football when he was manager of England's most succesful football club (Liverpool) and he almost had them win the Premiership then too (2nd place and only 2 points behind winners Man City in the 2013 to 2014 season)

[@fletap7782]

Hamish, well reasoned and fantastic appointment. I heard people talking about a range of coaches but there was always a risk. You must congratulate the CEO and Chairman because it is clear that their two important criteria were 1. the coach had to be a winner - that is the Celtic way and 2. continuity. Rodgers was the only candidate who was an obvious winner - all others do not have his pedigree. Ange left the club in a great position both financially and football wise and it was critical to continue on that path. It was great following Celtic whilst Ange was here and there was some great football - now I move on and to tune into the spurs forums. All the best from down-under.

Typical comments. Ange bought the best style of play and winning trophies to a team that was a total basket case. Kept the focus on the team and its achievements for everyone to enjoy the celebrations. Never signed nor asked for a long term contract and when the season was over and a bigger league came calling he accepted as every worker wanting a promotion has the right to take. He never left Celtic mid season or manager less during the season. Has never lauded the spurs fans like he did at Celtic, AND has left the club in a fantastic position.

If someone offered you a career move to the same Job but with double or treble the wage.. it’s a no brainer.. most of us would be out the door in a flash and sprinting to sign on… Yes BR left us high and dry but really. We don’t know what was happening behind the scenes.. the team had stopped performing so maybe it wasn’t a surprise to them.. remember the last few games under Ange his team took the foot off the gas before again applying themselves in the Cup final and last league game.. maybe they knew Ange was going.. maybe BRs team also knew… Anyway what’s done is done..

Celtic is a business. Has been for a long time. Just look at the pricenof merchandise or the price of a pie or bovril. You get stiffed rotten. All the biggest clubs are the same

I understand the 'let's get behind the manager' idealism. But I just can't at the moment. And to say you have to give him credit to him for coming back, I think that just points to the arrogance of the man. Maybe in time I'll have no choice but to accept it but right now, far from happy.

Also does anyone realise that BR completely changed the infrastructure of the club first time round? The GB are so up their own arse they think they are bigger than the club! Wind yer necks in. Celtic football club isn't all about buckfast, pyro and banners. Get with the team or sod off. Unbroken club since 1888 not a 13 year old band of bangers. Let's have it right. 🍀

He's got all the buzzwords pre planned for the first press conference to get the most gullible and lowest IQ football fans back onside "I'm here for the long term, I'm a Celtic man and I'd never leave you" "I'll get you to a European final!" "I'll win you trebles!"

Lads and lassies. All that matters is our club moving forward and winning. That’s it. Rogers is the best we could get. He will be brilliant. Don’t let the bad feelings from the past destroy our future. We have the Real Rangers, no laughing at the back, to destroy remember and they are coming with their latest messiah and the 8th Revolution. Let’s get real and let’s get tore in. HH

Hardly a mention of peter lawwell. Wouldn't give Brendan the money to strengthen so whys he escaping criticism? Yes we were all angry at Rodgers leaving but lawwell was the problem and still is if you ask me
