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.

Absolutely delighted with the signing of Brendan Rodgers, as a truly professional, and driven manager its fantastic to get him in this time slot and with a view to reviewing the set up before the serious business starts after the holiday break.
Well done Celtic and a big hearted welcome to Brendan Rodgers.

G’night fholks …all’s good in Timland…………………………….no that shoap in the barras.hh

Won’t know if I am in the Stauners section till 27th. Will buy a seat if refused.
That’s roughly 7hrs since our new manager has been announced and not even had a single Celtic fan doubt this appointment……….. (Sky are known to exaggerate the truth)
I was dreading this weekend as I have always loved the Scottish Cup final, always gutted when we are not there, but funnily enough I am not in the slightest bit interested……for the first time in a good while the CL qualifiers are much awaited, no way our new boss will take these lightly
Happy days
Hello Infidels,
Haven’t posted long time… hope you’re all well
Had my personal email from Brendan… he luvs me
Most exciting appointment since O’Neill. Really keen to see what he does with this squad of players.

I am a Celtic supporter.
Brendan ( get in there) is our manager.
We are a club like no other and as Bob Kelly said, before Barcelona, we are more than a club.
Thank you God for making me a Tim.
Dd,
I didn’t know we were erecting a stauners section :o
HH
Aye the Omar…………was another Denny right of passage, awe day sesh, stagger in for a table “gies the hottest thing you can maker” couple o pints of Cobra, eat it, instead of giving ye a wet wipe for yer face, an emergency pair of “Y”s for the walk up the road would have been better, many a bush in Glebe Street got ahem splattered!
Some boxing matches observed outside it when Sylvesters night club ahem….was chucking out, i use the word night club cos i dont know what else it could have been called, next door to the lion and dragon.
great times

Feck Sky Sports! Doing everything they can to undermine Brendan before he has even walked in the door. Complete barstewards. Hateful and bigoted gits.

Allbhoy sends his love to big Paddybhoy. Said he will see you soon at Paradise and buy you a pie and bovril to hear your Celtic chat. :)
This time? ;-)
Delaney, just catching up with chat earlier today with yourself and a few others talking about the Uni and Lions buses.
Most enjoyable days ,not as much as today with the news of Brendan’s appointment , but a time when going to see our team , irrespective of our results, helped forge feelings for Celtic.
Gerry W’s dad and one of Gerry’s nephews sit behind me at Celtic Park.
I used to drink in Heraghty’s and the late Jeff Harris used to drink in there occasionally. He looked in a bad way, healthwise , when I saw him.
It still brings a smile to my coupon of Jeff going to our games in season 82/82 in the full strip plus having the big Spanish style rosary beads on .
Delighted with today’s news about Brendan. Hopefully he is as succesful as our last two manager’s from Ulster. Talking of Ulster, will JimMcGuiness still have a place in the backroom team.
Dd,
Aye it’s just the next section along. Should make for a braw atmosphere neebs ;)
HH
DD, I don’t think you’ll get into the stauners section.
