Could Scotland left-back Kieran Tierney be poised to follow Brendan Rodgers to English football from Celtic?

In May 2017, Rodgers secured his first domestic treble (the fourth in Celtic's history) after his side defeated Aberdeen 2-1 in the Scottish Cup final.

It also meant he ended his first season in charge unbeaten in all domestic competitions.

Brendan Rodgers called the Celtic players together after training on Monday to tell them he was leaving, according to the Evening Times., external Some even thought he was joking...

Former Celtic midfielder Murdo MacLeod backs Neil Lennon to slip comfortably into Brendan Rodgers' shoes.

"Neil is the type of guy who would step into that job and just keep the whole thing going," he tells BBC Scotland.

"The way he had Hibernian playing over the last couple of seasons – that’s the way the fans would be delighted to see Celtic continuing to play the way they’ve been playing. Neil Lennon has been there and done it. He’s been successful in European campaigns as well.

"So many managers, a football club is a fit for them. And this is a fit for Neil Lennon."

BBC Scotland's Jane Lewis is reporting that Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell has left Celtic's training base at Lennoxtown.

He had arrived there earlier - five minutes before Neil Lennon's agent.

We await news of what might have been said in the meantime.

Old loyalties die hard and former Northern Ireland winger Paddy McCourt, who spent five years with Celtic, appears to be upset at Brendan Rodgers' departure.

Well, we assume the 35-year-old, who retired recently after leading Finn Harps back to the Irish Premier Divisioni, is not a Leicester fan who doesn't fancy his compatriot as Foxes boss.
