The Northern Irishman won seven domestic trophies in a row in Glasgow as his side dominated the Scottish game since his arrival in May 2016.

Those honours included an unprecedented double treble of the league, league cup and Scottish Cup in the last two seasons. He was also on track for a Treble Treble this campaign after winning the League Cup in December, with Celtic currently eight points clear in the Scottish Premiership.

Rodgers saw the Scottish champions reach the group stages of the UEFA Champions League in his first two years, while this term a frustrating summer transfer window only saw them into the Europa League where they were eventfully knocked out by Valencia in the last 32.

Despite his success, the disappointment is clear amongst the supporters as their manager has decided to leave during a huge week, with a visit to Hibernian in the Scottish Cup on Saturday beckoning.
