Brendan Rodgers today became the 18th manager in Celtic’s history. Rodgers, 43, managed Liverpool for three years until October, after guiding Swansea to the English (and Welsh) Premier League in 2011. He previously managed Reading and Watford.
His appointment is unquestionably the most popular since the arrival of fellow Irishman, Martin O’Neill, 16 years ago. Known for his belief in playing attacking, possession-based football, he will bring a force of personality to the club and to Scottish football.
Rodgers occupied the top position on Celtic’s wanted list at the start of the month, but the desire to sign him up was tempered by the belief that attracting a manager of such a profile to Scotland would be difficult. My understanding is that as soon as talks got underway in earnest, it was clear neither party would let the opportunity slip away.
I’m delighted at the appointment. The club already feels reinvigorated.
Welcome to Celtic, Brendan. Let’s get on with the job.

P67-well done on the scoop,thanks to Cowiebhoy for the tip weeks ago ,10/1 :)))
I wanted Dermot Desmond to step up to the plate.
Whether BR succeeds or not ,our leader has shown that he is still committed.
That is the most please aspect of his to me.
Well done Dermot and Hail! Hail! To Brendan Rodgers.

Rodgers not won any games yet? :-)
Welcome Brendan. I’m sure you’ll bring success to our great club.

Welcome Brendan Rodgers to Celtic
Hail Hail
arguably a bigger appointment than Martin O’Neill….
Even the most miserable of barstewards, and I’m one, would have to say WELL DONE and thank you to the suits.
Couple of quality signings and next season could be very special.
New manager, new strip, new standing area, full houses???
Welcome Brendan to the famous Glasgow Celtic.
Lurking currants and SMSM ………… GIRFUY’s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done Celtic. Welcome home, Brendan.
10IAR here we go…
Great timing from Paul 67 and Celtic announcing Mr Rodgers’s appointment on the eve of the SCF…they’ll be FFSaking on the Southside!!
Winning captains,
The beeb were still running with Michael O’Neil stories 3 hours ago.
HH
Good luck and all the best Brendan. Let’s hope we don’t have to wait too long for your first trophy.
Also thanks to betfair for keeping your ‘next Celtic manager’ market open after Celtic had made it fishal. ;)
……and Celtic supporters knew first………………………free from any scoddish, snyde, sleekit, snipin’……………….
Thanks Bhoys, thanks Dermot, Big Peter, …………..and Paul 67.
HH.
Now all we need is Ibrahimovic to lead the line.

Yippee – welcome to the world famous Glasgow Celtic Brendan :-)
Onwards to 10
And we’ll done Glasgow Celtic
Ok – I acted in haste, 2 season books now being renewed :-)
Over the moon so I am
Hail Hail the Celt are here
Just in from work to read this great news. What a great start to the weekend.
A statement of intent.
Welcome to Celtic, Brendan.
Right – bets on MSM questions:
“Brendan – was it because of Rangers being back that you took the job?”
When we win the league, it’s well done to the manager and players
If shit hits the fan it’s all Peters fault, he picks the manager, and also all the crap signings.
When we sign what looks like a great manager – it’s all Desmond’s effort.
A lot of fans decide who to praise or where to place their criticism on their own agenda.
Well done the Celtic board on this appointment. I gave it no chance. Well done to all involved.
Here’s to six.
Fantastic news, over the moon
Emeraldbee. Your wish is granted ….Braw braw news…..
Brawdger is on board …..set fasers to Malky !!!!!
Woo hoo
Braw
This also proves that Paul67 has the info like know other blogger.
I’m sure Kojo would tip his hat to you.
Well done Paul67
TT
Geordie Munro
A good few CQNers will be £££ happy!
When the Record were running with all that nonsense re Roy Keane we enjoyed a wee laugh at their expense.
Welcome to the biggest club in the world… Brendan
