The team clinched the Scottish Premiership title on Saturday after they drew 1-1 with St Mirren. James Forrest’s last-minute equalizer saved them from their first trophy day defeat since 2018. The post-match festivities were in full swing as champagne flowed in the dressing room. Celtic even took a swipe at Cerny, who had sprayed water at the Parkhead stands earlier in the season, with a cheeky post on social media.
Rodgers’ Future in Question
Manager Brendan Rodgers reflected on the season’s success and discussed his future at the club. He mentioned a recent conversation with majority shareholder Dermot Desmond, stating, “No, I haven’t seen him, but I spoke to him in the week. We’ll catch up sometime over the summer, I’m sure.” Rodgers praised Desmond’s belief in him, saying, “I’m so proud for him. The belief he’s had in me to bring me back and the confidence he gives me in that belief allows me to maximize how I do the job.” However, he acknowledged that his future at the club is not solely his decision. “Listen, it’s up to the club. The club might think, three years is enough of me, and that’s it,” Mr. Rodgers said. “But yes. I think one, we’ll speak around the team, and obviously, it’s always what is most important for Celtic.” He emphasized the importance of focusing on performance and winning.
Uncertain Future Ahead
As the season comes to a close, the future of Celtic’s manager remains uncertain. While Rodgers expressed gratitude for the support he has received from the chairman, he is well aware that decisions about his tenure ultimately lie with the club. Despite the recent success in securing the Scottish Premiership title, Rodgers understands that the business of football can be fickle, with managerial positions often subject to change based on performance and results. The upcoming summer break will provide an opportunity for further discussions about the direction of the team and the role of the manager. Fans will be eagerly awaiting news about Rodgers’ future at the club and what lies ahead for Celtic in the next season.
