BRENDAN RODGERS was in charge of Celtic when the champions kicked off the Premiership campaign with a 1-0 win over today’s opponents St Mirren at Parkhead on August 3 last year.
Martin O’Neill was in control during his first stint as interim manager when the Hoops repeated that scoreline in the league return in Paisley on November 22.
The wretched Wilfried Nancy was in the dug-out in the dismal 3-1 loss to Stephen Robinson’s outfit in the Premier Sports League Cup Final at Hampden on December 14.
O’Neill is back for this afternoon’s encounter at Parkhead as the side search for three vital points before the split kicks in.
