In an intriguing development we believe Brendan Rodgers, was on a private flight that we have tracked from Mallorca to London on Monday afternoon.
This news follows hot on the heels of Stephen McGowan’s report that Michael Nicholson, Celtic’s chief executive, had met with Rodgers in Mallorca. The positive outcome of these initial discussions appears to have precipitated this next phase of negotiations. A trip to Dermot Desmond’s digs?
Rodgers’ potential return to Celtic Park comes on the heels of Ange Postecoglou’s departure after a successful treble-winning campaign.
However, Rodgers’ potential return isn’t without its caveats. While the current Celtic squad brims with talent that could benefit from his coaching, fans are still wary of his recruitment policies, and most importantly, the question of loyalty.
The Irishman’s abrupt departure to Leicester left a sour taste in many mouths, and it remains to be seen how this will play out if he does indeed return.
In spite of these reservations, the Celtic faithful will back whatever person comes in to take the job.
