The Celtics ought to consider Brendan Rodgers a legend.
Rodgers is one of the most successful managers in the history of Celtic, having won a total of twelve titles throughout his two stints as manager of the club.
In addition to that, he has the opportunity to add to that if the Bhoys are victorious in the Scottish Cup match against Aberdeen this coming weekend. This would be the third time in the past four seasons that Parkhead has won the Triple Crown.
Those are the kinds of stats that ought to have fans yelling from the rooftops, but that is not the case.
As a result of Rodgers’ choice to leave Celtic for Leicester City in February 2019, Celtic supporters have always been left with a sour taste in their mouths. In fact, his return to Glasgow was not received with a great deal of happiness.
Now that he is nearing the end of his second season as the head coach of Rodgers part two, the 52-year-old has considered his legacy.
On a consistent basis, Brendan Rodgers desired to come back to Celtic.
Rodgers never anticipated that he would one day become estranged from the Celtics crowd he was raised around, yet he accomplished precisely that. Rodgers was a Celtics fan growing up.
Even though the Hoops coach stated that he didn’t want it to finish the way it did, he knew that he had always intended to return to Celtic. No matter what happens, there will always be parts of the fans that won’t forget his departure in 2019.
“I never wanted that to be my legacy when I left Celtic,” he remarked according to an interview with James McFadden that was shown on the BBC. The fact that I had a beautiful spell here while I was growing up as a Celtic person is something that I never really wanted to be the story that I tell.
“Even though I had a strong desire to return, I was unsure of when that would actually happen.”
Afterwards, McFadden enquired as to whether or not Rodgers had a genuine belief that he would be able to return to Celtic, to which Rodgers responded, “I hoped it would, there was never a guarantee.”
Over the course of my first spell, I had a very positive connection with the board. For a variety of reasons, I have always had the desire to return.
Brendan Rodgers would like to maintain his dominant position at Hampden Park.
To no one’s surprise, Celtic is the favourite to win the championship match that will take place at Hampden Park.
A few of weeks ago, Celtic’s reserves were able to thrash Aberdeen, and it is encouraging to see that Rodgers is able to maintain his hot streak in south Glasgow following that defeat.
At Hampden, the Bhoys have won every single one of the 14 finals that have been played under Rodgers’s leadership.
A spectacular fifteenth birthday is on the horizon, and we are hoping that another party in the sun is waiting for us.
