Tony Pulis
Middlesbrough manager on BBC Radio 5 LiveYou need results and in today's game you need players behind you as well. Claude Puel has found that difficult at Southampton and Leicester. Brendan is going in there and he is a big personality. He couldn't do any more at Celtic, that job was finished for him
Rodgers attracted by 'caring' foxespublished at 19:24 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2019
Pat Bonner
Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageCeltic FC have a bigger worldwide fan base and a history about them. The problem is they're not playing in the same league. It's all about money. Leicester have elevated themselves as they've won the Premier League. They look like a caring group and that's probably attracted Brendan.

Neil McCann
Former Rangers winger on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageNeil doesn't play out they way Brendan does. He's a 4-3-3 type of guy. He does like to play expansive football and I think the players will be fine with that. I think he will encourage the side of football they've been playing under Brendan

End of twitter post 2Results 'critical' for Lennonpublished at 19:08 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2019
Pat Bonner
Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageIt takes a brave man to step into Brendan's shoes at Celtic. Rodgers' domestic dominance is incredible. To go through two and half seasons and not lose a cup match is incredible. Lennon lost seven and he was seen as a successful Celtic manager. Getting results now is a critical factor for Neil
'Never going to stay for 10 in row'published at 19:07 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2019
Tom English
BBC Scotland's chief sports writerQuote MessageRodgers is all-in. Leicester are his new club, his new job. Celtic are in his past and they are going to have to suck it up. It's poor and it doesn't reflect particularly well on Brendan Rodgers. But the people throwing out the most vitriol are the ones who thought he was going to stay for 10 in a row. That was never going to happen
'Players are giddy at Rodgers news'published at 19:06 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2019
Leicester v Brighton (19:45 GMT)
Leicester CityLeicester caretaker boss Mike Stowell: "It’s a fantastic appointment. We’ve just told the boys in there, they’re excited. We’re focused on Brighton but you couldn’t stop them being a bit giddy beforehand. That’ll settle down. They’ll meet with the manager after the game."
Has it been difficult preparing for this game?
"No. They're good, professional players. The game coming so quickly has helped us. It’s just getting them ready. They’re ready for this game."
What needs to change?
"We’ve got to cut out silly mistakes and conceding first. They’ve been playing expansive football, getting countered and not shutting the back door. We’ll try to address those tonight – and send them out to express themselves."

Brendan Rodgers tells Celtic's website: “It has been a real honour to serve the club and its supporters across the past three seasons.
"I have been a Celtic supporter all my life and the reason I came to Glasgow was to work for the club I had such love and affection for.
“From the moment I walked into Celtic Park, I have been living my dream and, together with the players, staff and supporters, we have been on an amazing journey, which I will never forget.
"It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Peter, Ian, Dermot and the rest of the Celtic Board and together we have done everything we could to bring success to our supporters."
