Celtic Head Coach Brendan Rodgers is reportedly furious with the club’s management over their inability to secure long-term deals for several key players whose contracts are set to expire in 2026. According to sources close to Parkhead, Rodgers has expressed deep frustration, warning that the club’s inaction could spark a major squad overhaul in less than a year.
Among those yet to agree on extensions are veteran winger James Forrest, goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, full-back Marcelo Saracchi, and forward Kelechi Iheanacho—all crucial figures in Celtic’s current setup. Adding to Rodgers’ concerns, promising youngster Jahmai Simpson-Pusey will see his loan spell end the same year, leaving a potential void in depth and attacking creativity.
Rodgers reportedly views the situation as a failure in forward planning, fearing it could disrupt the club’s long-term vision both domestically and in Europe. The manager, who has publicly emphasized the need for “continuity and commitment,” now faces growing tension with the Celtic board over what he perceives as complacency at a critical stage.
With fan pressure mounting and uncertainty looming, the next few months could define Rodgers’ relationship with the club’s hierarchy—and possibly the future of Celtic’s key stars.
