Well,if the unthinkable happens (and I certainly wouldn't invest heavily in Celtic getting through) could Rodgers survive this? I doubt it.He could never win the fans over

With that squad??

Peter Lawwell said at the AGM that the structure of the club is based on qualifying for the group stages at least once in every three seasons.If Rodgers fails to do so this season,his hugely inflated salary is thus unjustified.To fail at the first hurdle against a part time team is irrecoverable as far as his post goes,I would think.Winning domestic leagues didn't save Ronny.

Ronny got a few years out of it

Do you seriously think Rodgers could ever win the support back if Celtic are eliminated from the Champions League by a team of part timers? That's worse than losing 4 nil at St Mirren

He's only in the job a few weeks. He needs to be given a couple of seasons like any new manager. He hasn't had a penny to spend yet. Strachan started off with a horrendous 5.0 defeat to artmedia but the panic button wasn't pressed and he had a good 4 seasons there. It would be disastrous to lose but these freak results happen so early in the season especially with a new manager who is implementing a new system on the players.

We get it. You don't like him. Give him a chance.

I have to say I found Rodgers hard to like after he dumped the wife for a dollybird once he made the big time at Liverpool. However even he cannot be blamed for what happened last week. He has not been there long enough. To me the performance and the result raised more questions about Scott Brown's ability as a player and a leader on the pitch, and the lack of desire not to mention ability amongst the rest of the squad. For me last season only Lee Griffiths and young Tierney stood out as having that desire.

Lol...your some craic. You don't like him because him and his wife split up...FFS give us all a bit of peace...WTF has that got to do with anything or anybody only Brendan and his family.

I do agree with u that Tierney and Griffiths were the only 2 from last season that could hold their heads up high, the rest should be embarrassed to call themselves a Celtic player.

I'm actually glad that they're not rushing into buying players for the sake of buying someone, hopefully Brendan will buy quality and not quantity (his words). Thats why we're sitting with about 12 midfielders at the minute, give the man time and see what he does.

If after next season we're still playing Ambrose etc then i will slate both Club & manager but he's only in a few weeks and get behind him and the club and support them.

Paddy McCourt signed for Glenavon.

Some coup for the Lurgan Blues....

Ffs Celtic even with me at the helm should be capable of beating a part time team.No excuse and no comeback for Rodgers if Celtic fail tonight.

It is not his team yet, he has hardly worked with the squad, they will lay the wood tonight and all will be well, racks sake the man has just started working with the squad, are the players accountable at all?
