European media respond to Dermot Desmond’s heated criticism of former Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers

Celtic’s shockwaves have gone continental.

Dermot Desmond’s fiery attack on Brendan Rodgers hasn’t just rocked Scotland — it’s made headlines across Europe. After Rodgers’ sudden resignation, the club’s major shareholder wasted no time releasing a scathing statement that’s caused uproar among fans and pundits alike.

From Germany to Spain and Belgium, European outlets have branded the saga a “Celtic earthquake.” Sport Bild reported “fierce mudslinging” between Desmond and Rodgers, while Spain’s TodoMercado called it the “end of an era.” Norway’s Nettavisen described Desmond’s rant as an “explosive tirade,” and Denmark’s Tipsbladet said the Celtic boss gave Rodgers “a gigantic verbal slap in the face.”

As Celtic scramble for a new manager, interim boss Martin O’Neill holds the reins. But after this public feud, many are asking — what top manager would want to take the job next?


For a club once famed for its stability and pride, the situation has left Celtic looking fractured, frustrated, and fighting to save their season.
