2 h. ago Brendan Rodgers and Celtic were heading for divorce but acrimony was avoidable | Ewan Murray

The lack of squad investment had clearly frustrated an habitually successful manager yet he was minded to see out his final season before things got personalPresumably Martin O’Neill had no inkling of what the coming hours would bring when he used a Monday radio appearance to talk up Hearts’ prospects of winning the Scottish title for the first time since 1960. “This is the time for Hearts,” O’Neill said.The scale of reverberation around Brendan Rodgers’ resignation is such that even the return of O’Neill to the Celtic dugout is not the most dramatic element. Instead, the lesser‑spotted Dermot Desmond broke cover to lacerate Rodgers. The attack felt personal and spiteful. This proved a sad and unseemly conclusion to Rodgers’ second spell in Glasgow. So much so, in fact, that the third most successful manager in Celtic’s history cannot now show his face at the stadium. Desmond appears to be a bad enemy to choose. Continue reading...

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!As splits go, Monday night’s parting of Brendan Rodgers and Celtic was as bitter and spectacular as any rock band have managed. And unlike Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses and the Gallaghers, there will be no reunion tour. Think The Smiths, with attendant wordy statements to reflect just how severed the alliance is. Rodgers’ departure was initially sold as him stepping away. “Celtic Football Club can confirm that football manager Brendan Rodgers has today tendered his resignation,” droned a club statement. “The Club appreciates Brendan’s contribution to Celtic during his two very successful periods at the Club.”Watching the current success of my adopted fitba club Hearts (yesterday’s Football Daily), my mind immediately turns to Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit/Owl John/Mastersystem fame and now tragically seven years deceased. A lifelong Hearts fan, he even recorded, with Frightened Rabbit, his own version of Hector Nicol’s ‘The Hear...

The 73-year-old said he had to “pull myself off the floor” when taking a call from the club’s main shareholder, Dermot Desmond. Rodgers was castigated by Desmond in a statement posted on Celtic’s website within 15 minutes of the manager’s departure being confirmed. Continue reading...
