Celtic’s pursuit for managerial stability could be nearing a significant milestone as club chiefs have held discussions with Brendan Rodgers about a sensational return to Parkhead.

The top brass’s journey to Rodgers’ Spanish home in Mallorca, via a private jet no less, signals a degree of seriousness not often seen in typical managerial hunts. This move signifies the club’s intent and the lengths it’s willing to go in the hopes of bringing Rodgers back to the Celtic fold.
Rodgers, who spearheaded Celtic’s ‘Invincibles’ run and two consecutive trebles during his previous spell, left a lasting impression on the field that ultimately saw Celtic bag for trebles on the spin. His potential return is bound to send waves through the Celtic support; those who want him back and those who are still sour on the way he exited the club last time around.
His experience, combined with an intimate knowledge of the club, makes Rodgers an ideal candidate to continue the work set by Ange Postecoglou. There’s a sense of familiarity with Rodgers that other potential candidates simply do not offer.
However, will Rodgers want to return to management so quickly? And does he feel there’s enough to achieve at Celtic past what he’s already done?
Hope he will return.
