The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Boycey]

I know he's been struggling to get a suitable gig but Celtic ffs :-)

[Nigel White]

If any of you want to make a few quid have a we flutter at 8/1 on N Lennon...u were told

Nice one.

[lenny]

So Brendan Rodgers gets the gig then

Great appointment for Celtic and Brendan. A massive club with a tremendous support gets a brilliant coach/manager who is just starting to come into his peak years. It was by no means essential but it's great to have someone from an Irish background who has grown up supporting the club and who gets the values of the club.

This is a brilliant appointment. Looking forward to seeing what he brings

Great character.

The Green Glens of Antrim have called. Major coup,. Would expect major investment in team.

[Main Street]

This is a very good move for an upwardly mobile Brendan and hopefully the Celtic board will support him from the start in order to prepare a decent team that will qualify for the group stages of the CL.

LOL.

Why is there more expectation than when Ronnie was appointed? He came with a good pedigree of getting a lot out of mediocre players.

Brilliant white teeth, and will no doubt hit on the female staff!!

[An Watcher]

I don't care if he hits on the male staff, as long as he brings success on the field

He's certainly had his fill with mediocre miserable fans from his previous club 
I'd have an expectation that Brendan's experience with a big club like Swansea will hold him in good stead  with rebuilding a Celtic team.

[T Fearon]

Not overly enamoured.Swansea was the only club where he achieved anything.Had Suarez and still couldn't win the Premiership,and Liverpool were at best mediocre in Europe in his reign.

Will of course give him a chance but not overly excited,another Tony Mowbray I suspect.

[Main Street]

Liverpool not any better under the loudmouth Klopp and still mediocre in Europe, but that won't bother them next season 
Meanwhile Brendan can prepare for CL.

[bennydorano]

Excellent appointment that can only bode well for the coming years as there's no doubt he's there with the promise of funds being available. Biggest immediate obstacle would be getting a few quality signings in & settled for the CL qualifiers,  I'd say making the group stages is his N1 goal. He's got the added advantage of having Rangers back, which should reignite the interest of the fans.
