So, it's official. After weeks of speculation and plenty of names being mentioned, Brendan Rodgers has been confirmed as the new Celtic manager on a 12 month rolling contract.

The news has delighted the Celtic support and it can only be viewed as a massive signal of intent by the club.

Brendan himself is currently out of the country in Spain however he did have this to say after the news had broken:

"I am absolutely delighted to be named Celtic manager. This is genuinely a huge honour for me. I have followed Celtic all my life and to be given this fantastic opportunity and to be part of such a truly great football club is a dream come true.

"I will give my new role everything I have and do all I can to bring our supporters exciting, entertaining and winning football.
"The Club has been in magnificent shape in recent years and has collected silverware regularly during this time. My objective now, of course, is to continue this work, to keep us at the top and again make our mark in Europe.

"I know what a magnificent support Celtic enjoys and I can promise our fans one thing - that I will be doing everything I can to give you a team that you can be proud of and a team that delivers.

"I can't wait to be in Paradise with our team and our fans as we all get to work."
