Fresh off their victory against St Mirren that secured Celtic their 12th title in 13 years, Brendan Rodgers wasted no time in setting his sights on next season. Despite facing criticism throughout the season, Rodgers and his team persevered through adversity to stay ahead of Rangers in the league.
Returning to the club under a cloud last summer after a controversial exit to Leicester City, Rodgers acknowledged the collective effort that has brought Celtic success, similar to what his predecessor achieved at Tottenham. He highlighted the importance of top players, a great staff, and the unwavering support of the fans in their recent achievements.
Looking ahead to the summer transfer window, Rodgers expressed his excitement at the opportunity to strengthen the squad, recognizing the ongoing learning process that comes with managing a successful team. Amidst speculation surrounding players like Matt O’Riley, who has caught the eye of clubs like Atletico Madrid, the midfielder himself emphasized the special bond he feels with Celtic and its passionate fanbase, making it difficult to consider leaving the club.
