Brendan Rodgers raises Celtic ticking contract bomb as he owns up to 'unrealistic' ambitions

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Brendan Rodgers insists he's still got the drive and passion to lead Celtic to continued dominance - even as he approaches his sixth campaign in charge.

The serial-winning Hoops boss stunned the green-and-white faithful by returning for a second spell in 2023, four years after abruptly walking out on the club for Leicester City.

Rodgers justified his decision by declaring that he felt he had taken the club as far as he could - a claim that Martin O'Neill hilariously called out in an interview with Amazon Prime.But after winning a Double in his first season back, Treble specialist Rodgers is now on the brink of a third clean sweep at Parkhead - and has guided the Glasgow giants into the Champions League knockouts for the first time in more than a decade.

That's helped the Irishman win back most of his critics. However, with less than 18 months to run on his three-year contract, it remains to be seen whether Rodgers will commit his future to the club beyond the end of next season.Rodgers has been bankrolled by the Parkhead board, twice smashing the club's transfer record in the summer, as he looks to restore Celtic's pride in Europe.
