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.

Welcome a good night for your first post.
Jimmynotpaul. that Dortmund trip was brilliant.
We travelled over on the JohnColraine (Biff’s bus ) from Heraghty’s.
We stayed in the Bender hotel. I believe Bender is a German family name.
Good night all and sleep well.
Long live the Brodge.

BR is a Sheffield Wednesday and Celtic fan. I’m old enough to watch the Kelly Babes play and was really excited about Big Jock……….I feel even more excited about Brendan. Congrats to Celtic management

After this evening I think she’d be more surprised if RR got the nod before BR (purely on a Celtic basis)
Defo hitting me kip, still not heard (or read) one dissenting voice on our new manager…….

Congratulations to Brendan Rodgers on his appointment to the best and perhaps most challenging job in football. Thank you to the Board for such an ambitious appointment. Thrilled about the possibilities this could bring to the club.

Thanks for Rachel in the Hoops ! Oh And welcome to Brendan HH !
Not sure about Brendan Rodgers
Forget all the EPL hype
Look at the cold hard facts
As manager of Celtic he has yet to win a game !
As manager of Celtic he has yet to win a trophy
As manager of Celtic he has yet to give us a big European night
I havent seen any of this fast attacking football we have been promised.
I think the clock is ticking for Rodgers/Lawwell/Desmond and Paul 67 and maybe even Diamond Jackson
If he doesnt produce the goods soon then Celtic have to bite the bullet and let him go
And get a big name manager in
WEEFRA
I might have asked before but how far are you from Falls of Clyde ?
The warmest of welcomes Brendan , may the road rise up to meet you ….
So glad that you have never agreed with the continuation myth.

Another bloody Delilah………..
I heard a bit of the Clyde phone in tonight, the last half hour, and Hugh Keevins was saying that Celtic are being serious now.
I think we have Exceptional young players ready to breakthrough over the next 2 or 3 seasons and I’m sure Brendan is aware of this.
Dismantle the SFA.

Really amusingly deluded piece from Roddy Forsyth this morning. When will people wake up and understand that the new Rangers will present no challenge to Celtic? Of course Europe is more important and that is where BR has a massive challenge.
