This could be Brendan Rodgers’ final season at Celtic.
If things change in the boardroom for Celtic, then hopefully, the supporters will get to see Rodgers continue his dominance with Scotland’s most successful club.
Before a ball is kicked, it’s the norm for Celtic supporters to expect and want the team to win a Treble; this wasn’t the case 20 years ago.
But Rodgers, going back to his first spell, has normalised this, and Charlie Mulgrew shared what those close to him think of him.
What Scott Brown and Mikael Lustig said about Brendan Rodgers at Celtic
Scott Brown and Mikael Lustig were two big characters during the best years of Celtic under Rodgers – and that’s his first spell.
Speaking on Go Radio, Mulgrew shared that the above duo told him that it’s the Celtic manager’s ‘relentlessness’ nature and ‘guarding against complacency’ that makes him so good.
The examples of that are proven when you look at Rodgers’ domestic cup record, and how he has only lost an incredible two matches.
“I think that’s the most important thing about his management,” said Mulgrew. “Whenever I speak to Celtic players who have worked under him.
“Scott Brown and Mikael Lustig. I asked them, ‘what’s the one thing?’ And they always talk about his relentlessness and his guarding against complacency.
“Pleased that they won this game today, but he wouldn’t be getting overboard with the players. He will then be getting back to the moment, ‘right, well done, the next game’.
“Always the next game and about turning up and performing. He knows that, at a club like Celtic, you are only one performance away from people starting to question you. So, his relentless attitude and the way he has got his team is really impressive.”
Rodgers’ record as Celtic manager
As of this moment, Rodgers has 11 trophies to his name at Celtic, and that should be increased by the time the final ball is kicked this season.
If it so happens to be Rodgers’ final bow at Celtic, then what a journey it has been, and he will go down as one of the greats.
It’s perhaps a shame given how it’s going to end, because of all the noise, but his record speaks for itself, loud and clear.
