Rodgers leaves Celtic to take over at Leicester
Last updated 28th Feb 2019
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has left the club to take over at English Premier League club Leicester City.
It is understood Kolo Toure and assistant Chris Davies will join Rodgers down south.
Rodgers, 46, has been in charge at Parkhead since 2016 and led Celtic to the title twice, while they are currently eight points clear of second-placed Rangers.
There are reports this morning that Neil Lennon is expected to take over at Celtic until the end of the season - but his agent says there has been no confirmation.
Rangers boss Steven Gerrard believes the lure of the Premier League was too much for Brendan Rodgers to turn down.
He said: ''I've just been made aware that he's in talks with Leicester. For us, we just see how that pans out really.
''It seems (the lure of Premier League has been a big factor) otherwise he'd have declined the opportunity to talk to Leicester.
''My focus right now is Rangers and we've got a big fixture tomorrow against Dundee. That's my main concern right now but we'll keep an eye on how it pans out across the road.
''I'm not really surprised by the timing because these things happen. Brendan has done ever so well at Celtic over the years so it's no surprise that other clubs are watching him and wanting to acquire his services. He's done a really good job and I've worked with Brendan so I know he's a very good coach.''
