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.

Tommy Burns will be smiling tonight.
Msm rats will be doing overtime at the behest of level 5. There’s never been a better time to get a proper PR man in place to protect Brendan and let him do his job.
Well done the board for this appointment, exactly what is needed to begin uniting the club
Delighted with the appointment,shows ambition and clarifies DDs genuine feeling for the Club.
Anyone swithering about STs should get down and renew in anticipation of great things to come.
BSR great photo!!
Great news to hear about our new manager. Good luck, Brendan Rodgers, job well done by the Board. Now clear up the other outstanding matters and start a renewals tsunami.
Right now feels like we’ve won the Scottish Cup without needing to buy tickets for the final.
Celtic forever.
The appointment of Brendan Rodgers for Celtic can mean only 1 thing; Ragers are back.
Deary me!

Top post there! Like it!
Jaysus that was funny. On the main BBC news they inluded it in the intro and the guy from Dalrymple across from me started eating sour gherkins. At least thats what his coupon looked like. The other Ayrshire man has been in the bog since and a nurse has just chaped the door and asked if he is ok.
Oh Carlsberbg, you do do Fridays.
By the look of delight on Paul McGinley’s face after being told the news live on RTE at the Irish Open, there will be a many more Irish accents at CP next season.
Get your tickets early, Celtic have listened!!
Celtic Board come out of confession with sins absolved.
Jose Mourinho just off the phone to Brendan:
“Geez a job!”
HH!!
Doc, Welcome home.
Fantastic appointment , well done Celtic.
Welcome to Celtic Brendan.
HH
Any word of assistant coaches?
Fill CP to the rafters and the board find there balls on the cheating we and the whole of scottish footbalL has suffered and we will be unstopable .
Cmon suits you know it makes sense
HH
Never get too up. Never get too down.
You would think everyone on here tonight was on
the same side!!!!!!!!!
Fieldofdrams. Just heard the news.
This is a great appointment. It hopefully does signal a change in approach and strategy(if it doesn’t I think Brendan will tell us).
While I think DD has stepped in here I will not praise him nor the board (yet).
This is down, as it always is, to the Celtic supporters. We flexed our muscles and the board blinked. Well done to all of you who at least delayed your renewal. Without that this would not have happenned.
For me personally I won’t be back till Celtic do something about the cheating and until Lawwell is sacked.
This is genuinely excellent news. Enjoy.
Still no new signings, assistant manager? Typical celtic. I’m not renewing!
Have got a couple of texts saying, Scepovic sold to Getafe and Cole released but can’t see anything about it online.
Anyone confirm or otherwise.
Emeraldbee….thanks for the update…..would use another toilet this evening…..hahahahahaha

Hugh Keevins says on SSB, “Glasgow is alive tonight! The city is alive!”
Super sick bigot BFDJ interrupts, “It’ll be alive tomorrow.”

Think I will return to Saint Brendan’s Yoker on a Sunday. :)
Serious lack of commitment on show already from our new manager Brendan Rodgers. Can’t even be bothered turning up for his appointment!
Unbelievable!
