Ally McCoist has raised doubts regarding Brendan Rodgers’ long-term commitment to Celtic, despite the manager’s recent success with the club. Following a successful stint securing a Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup Double, Rodgers made a return to Celtic last year for a second tenure after Ange Postecoglou’s departure to Tottenham. His initial exit to take up the managerial role at Leicester City had left a sour taste among some Celtic supporters, complicating his reconciliation upon return.

Although Rodgers has made strides in repairing his relationships with fans through a prosperous season and upcoming Champions League campaign, Rangers legend McCoist suggested a potential departure for the Irishman back to English football. Speculating on Rodgers’ future plans, McCoist expressed his belief that the manager might be eyeing another move to the English leagues, given his history of seeking fresh challenges and opportunities.

In a discussion on talkSPORT, McCoist highlighted the challenges faced by Scottish clubs in European competitions and hinted at the possibility of Celtic struggling to compete in the Champions League once more. Emphasizing the lingering discontent among certain Celtic supporters regarding Rodgers’ initial departure, McCoist and the listeners speculated on the manager’s next career move, with suggestions of a potential interest from clubs like Brighton based on Rodgers’ favorable reputation for nurturing young talent.

Amid uncertainties surrounding Rodgers’ future at Celtic, Jeff Stelling chimed in with a reference to Brighton as a plausible destination aligning with Rodgers’ coaching style. Despite the uncertainties, the speculation around Rodgers’ potential departure continues, leaving fans and pundits pondering what the future holds for the successful manager.
