Brendan Rodgers is set to address his Celtic exit at a public event in Glasgow next June, according to the Daily Record. The Brendan Rodgers Celtic exit has never been explained to supporters in any detail, and this will be his first chance to give his own account since leaving Celtic Park.
The news comes at an uneasy time for the club. Celtic have gone three games without a win, a run that ended in a 1-0 defeat to Rangers on Sunday, and supporters are still waiting for clarity on Martin O’Neill’s long term future as manager.
Daily Record Reports Public Event Planned for Glasgow
The Daily Record reports that Rodgers has agreed to take part in a live event in Glasgow next June, where he plans to speak publicly about his departure from Celtic. Exact venue and ticketing details have not been confirmed, but word of the event has already sparked a strong reaction among fans.
Troon reader Michael Smith wrote to the paper’s hotline: “Are you worried, Dermot? Brendan hasn’t had much to say for himself while out in Saudi but that’s all going to chance soon. Desmond and the board had their say on how Brendan left. Now, he gets his chance and if things don’t pick up on the pitch before things it could only make things worse.”
Glasgow supporter Stuart Wilson was just as direct. “I can’t wait to hear Brendan Rodgers spill the beans over his Celtic exit,” he said. “I have my fingers crossed that he’s going to hammer the board publicly, and that’s the least they deserve.”
Celtic Supporters Await Clarity on Martin O’Neill’s Future
While the Glasgow event has fans talking, most of this week’s hotline calls were about Martin O’Neill rather than Rodgers. Celtic have gone three matches without a win, and Sunday’s recent derby defeat to Rangers at Ibrox left many supporters uneasy about where the team stands under him.
The board responded with a public show of board backing for the manager after that result, insisting O’Neill keeps their full support. He is said to be considering his future at Celtic Park, though nothing has been confirmed either way.
Supporters say the timing of the Brendan Rodgers Celtic exit news has added to an already tense week at Celtic Park, with most callers still more concerned about results on the pitch than events next summer. Many simply want the club to settle O’Neill’s position one way or another.
Upcoming Timeline and Key Dates for Celtic
No exact date or venue has been confirmed for Rodgers’ appearance in Glasgow, though the Daily Record understands it is planned for next June. Further details, including ticketing, are expected to follow in the coming months, as reported by the Daily Record.
Closer to home, Celtic’s next task is ending their winless run and easing the pressure building around O’Neill. Supporters expect the board to give a clearer picture of his position well before the summer, rather than let the uncertainty run on through the season.
