Anton Rodgers joins Celtic squad for pre-season tour
Anton Rodgers, the son of manager Brendan, has been included in the Celtic squad for the club’s pre-season tour to Austria.
The 24-year-old is currently a free agent after his contract at League One Swindon Town expired and he’ll be given a chance to prove himself when the Celtic squad travel to Austria in preparation for the new season.
The Bhoys will face BW Linz and SK Rapid Vienna in friendly games in Austria before they take the short journey to the Czech Republic to face Slavia Prague and as it stands, Anton could feature in those games.
It’s unclear at this time if this is simply a case of Brendan helping his son keep his fitness levels sharp as he looks for a new club or if he’s actually interested in signing him to play for his side next season.
The midfielder scored six goals in 79 games at Swindon before his contract expired this summer.
