Stewart, a former professional footballer and now pundit, highlighted the significance of Rodgers’ return. The Northern Irishman’s previous tenure at Celtic was marked by remarkable success, including consecutive domestic Trebles and an Invincible season.
Rodgers’ appointment comes as a clear signal of Celtic’s ambition, and Stewart’s comments underscore the high expectations that come with such a high-profile appointment.
As Rodgers prepares to take the reins at Celtic once again, the club’s fans will be hoping that Stewart’s confidence in their new manager is well-founded.
With a track record of success and a clear mandate from the club, Rodgers will be aiming to replicate his previous achievements and bring further glory to Celtic Park.
