Celtic majority shareholder Dermot Desmond has emphatically backed manager Brendan Rodgers, dismissing any speculation over his future at the club. Desmond insists Rodgers remains fully committed to Celtic's ambitions, despite recent murmurs about his long-term plans.
Rodgers' Commitment Beyond Question
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail, Desmond made it clear that Rodgers' dedication to Celtic should never be doubted. "People shouldn't be surprised if Brendan stays for the long haul," said the Irish billionaire. "His ambition aligns perfectly with what we want to achieve here."
Building on Success
Since returning to Celtic Park for a second spell in 2023, Rodgers has reinforced his reputation as one of Britain's most talented managers. Under his guidance, the Hoops have continued their domestic dominance while making strides in European competitions.
"We've never doubted Brendan's commitment," Desmond continued. "He understands what this club means to the supporters and shares our vision for sustained success."
Silencing the Doubters
The vote of confidence comes amid persistent speculation linking Rodgers with potential moves to the English Premier League. However, Desmond's comments suggest the Northern Irishman remains central to Celtic's future plans.
With the new Scottish Premiership season underway, Rodgers will be looking to build on last campaign's achievements while continuing to develop Celtic's exciting young squad.
