Celtic have confirmed that Brendan Rodgers has stepped down as manager of the club with immediate effect.
Rodgers found himself under intense scrutiny following an inauspicious start to the new Scottish Premiership season, with the reigning champions sitting eight points adrift of Hearts in second.
A dismal 3-1 defeat away to the league leaders on Sunday proved to be the final match of Rodgers’ second managerial spell at Celtic Park, which began in June 2023.
Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney will take over the reins on an interim basis and Celtic have reassured supporters that ‘further details will be confirmed shortly’.
A statement on the club’s official website this evening read: ‘Celtic Football Club can confirm that football manager Brendan Rodgers has today tendered his resignation. It has been accepted by the club and Brendan will leave his role with immediate effect.
‘The club appreciates Brendan’s contribution to Celtic during his two very successful periods at the Club.
‘Brendan leaves Celtic with our thanks for the role he has played during a period of continued success for the Club and we wish him further success in the future.
