In a stunning development for Celtic fans, the club has confirmed that Brendan Rodgers has tendered his resignation, bringing his second spell in charge of the Scottish champions to an abrupt end.
Celtic announced that Rodgers’ resignation had been accepted with immediate effect, and thanked him for his contribution across his two successful tenures. During his time at the helm, Rodgers delivered multiple domestic trophies and helped to maintain the club’s position at the top of Scottish football.
“Brendan leaves Celtic with our thanks for the role he has played during a period of continued success for the Club and we wish him further success in the future,” the club said in an official statement.
The departure comes at a crucial point in the season, and attention now turns to who will take permanent charge of the first team. Celtic confirmed that the process to appoint a new manager is already underway, with updates to follow “as soon as possible.”
In the meantime, fans will be heartened by the return of a familiar face. Former Celtic manager Martin O’Neill, who guided the club through one of its most successful modern eras in the early 2000s, has agreed to take interim charge of the squad alongside former player Shaun Maloney.
O’Neill’s comeback adds a touch of nostalgia and reassurance to a period of transition, with supporters hopeful his leadership will bring stability and renewed spirit to the dressing room.
As the green-and-white faithful digest today’s dramatic news, one thing is certain — it’s never quiet at Celtic Park.
