David Callan: To the best of my knowledge I've never been cheated on but this must be exactly what it feels like.
Ozulumba: How can a manager leave a top Scottish club like CelticFC for a low flying English one LCFC. It doesn't make sense. Come on! Show some respect!!!
Michael Grant: Massive step down for him.
Celtic have now released a statement, which reads: "Celtic Football Club today confirmed that it has been approached by Leicester City FC to speak to Brendan Rodgers with regards to their current managerial vacancy.
"Brendan has indicated to the club that this is an opportunity he wishes to investigate further and therefore, very reluctantly, the club has granted him permission to speak to Leicester City."

Can't understand why Rodgers would want to leave Celtic for Leicester, other than money or background 'structures' at Celtic. Leicester a consistent midtable team where a Europa place push would be regarded a good season. Can win trophies at Celtic or surely could get into a bigger club?

He said: "Brendan has done ever so well at Celtic over the last few years. It is no surprise other clubs watch him and want to acquire his services.
"I have worked with Brendan, he is a very good coach. I am not surprised at the timing.
"From our point of view, we will keep an eye on it and see how it pans out. My focus is on Rangers."

Jack Stafford: As a LCFC fan very very pleased with this!
Paul Skinback: I think LCFC have shown great character in pursuing a wonderful human being like Brendan. He'll get the young men working hard, scoring goals within no time so he will.
Richard Ashton: Great appointment for us if so. Will hopefully implement the brand of football Puel was trying to.
Leicester v Brighton (19:45 GMT)

The Foxes are 12th in the Premier League having lost five of their last six league games and play Brighton on Tuesday night.
Saturday's 4-1 defeat by Crystal Palace meant Leicester have lost four consecutive home Premier League games for the first time since January 2000 and conceded the first goal in 19 Premier League matches this season - more than any other side.
Leicester City
Here's the last update to our story on Brendan Rodgers being expected to become Leicester City's manager after Celtic gave him permission to speak to the Premier League club.
Before Sunday's win over Motherwell, Brendan Rodgers insisted he was focused on his work at Celtic.
Rodgers is pursuing his third consecutive treble with Celtic, having won seven out of seven trophies since moving to Glasgow in 2016.
"My job is to concentrate on the football aspect, and that is with Celtic," Rodgers said.
"I've been stood here for two and a half years and I've been asked similar questions, my message is always very, very clear, I'm very concentrated on the game."
Image source, Getty ImagesIt would be a Premier League return for Brendan Rodgers, who managed Liverpool for three and a half years, almost winning the title in 2013-14.
They were top of the table with three games remaining, before losing out to Manchester City.
That season will forever be remembered for Steven Gerrard's slip against Chelsea as they lost 2-0 and blowing a 3-0 lead at Crystal Palace, as they drew 3-3.
Rodgers was sacked in October 2015 after a poor start to the season.
The Northern Irishman has also managed Watford, Reading and Swansea and was named the LMA Manager of the Year in 2014.

Davo Shea: Excellent manager he did a great job at LFC ... He would be a great acquisition for any team.
Mister Blister: He'll be found out in no time. He can hide at Celtic but not at Leicester.

Former Celtic midfielder Murdo MacLeod: "It is too early for Brendan to go, I thought he would go at the end of the season at the very worst. To go at this time is a shock."
On Neil Lennon, he said: "He is the type of guy who can step into the job and keep the whole thing going."
Brendan Rodgers left Liverpool in October 2015, taking over at Celtic the following summer.
And after winning the Scottish League Cup final against Aberdeen in December, it means Rodgers won every domestic trophy that was on offer during his two and a half years in charge at Celtic.
