GLASGOW: Brendan Rodgers is the favourite in the market to become the next manager of Scottish treble winners Celtic.

It comes following reports that the club have granted current boss Ange Postecoglou permission to speak to Tottenham about their vacant head coach position.

Rodgers spent a successful three years in Glasgow before departing to take up the Leicester job in 2019. He would guide Celtic to the domestic treble on two occasions alongside the Scottish Cup in 2018/19 before leaving.

Rodgers has been out of work since his departure from the Foxes in April. He took them to FA Cup glory in 2021 but they would suffer relegation from the Premier League in May.

Postecoglou’s two years at Celtic have been hugely successful. They won the Scottish Premiership title on both occasions, as well as the League Cup, while also lifting the Scottish Cup at the conclusion of the most recent campaign.

He is expected to sign a two-year deal in north London with the option for a third.
