In a move that has sent shockwaves through Scottish football, Celtic have reportedly made an unexpected decision regarding manager Brendan Rodgers’ future at the club. Despite growing pressure from fans following a string of unconvincing performances, the board is said to be in advanced talks to extend Rodgers’ contract — a decision few saw coming.
Sources close to Parkhead reveal that the Celtic hierarchy still believe Rodgers is the right man to guide the team forward, citing his long-term vision and experience in handling high-stakes situations. The board reportedly views the current slump as a temporary dip rather than a crisis, insisting that stability is crucial as the club prepares for a busy January transfer window and a tight Premiership title race.
However, not all within the Celtic fanbase share the same confidence. Supporters have voiced frustration over tactical inconsistencies and missed opportunities in Europe. Many expected the club to reconsider Rodgers’ position, especially after several lacklustre displays that have seen rivals close the gap in the league standings.
Insiders say Rodgers has been reassured of full backing in the upcoming transfer window, with plans already in motion to strengthen key areas of the squad. The manager remains determined to prove his critics wrong and restore Celtic’s dominance both domestically and on the European stage.
While the news has divided opinion, one thing is clear — the Celtic board’s bold stance has reignited debate about the club’s direction and ambitions. Whether this surprise show of faith pays off or backfires spectacularly will be revealed in the crucial months ahead, as Rodgers faces one of the most defining periods of his managerial career at Parkhead.
