Brendan Rodgers is off to a flying start at Leicester.

The Carnlough man put pen to paper on a three-year deal as Foxes boss last night.

Then he watched his new side from the stands (main pic) beat Brighton 2-1 in the Premier League.

Speaking to Leicester City TV, Rodgers said he could not wait to get working with the players.

“It’s a young squad – a very dynamic squad that’s got huge potential.

“And you have other players with real good experience also.

“There’s a number of factors of being here and I am absolutely delighted.”

Neil Lennon

Meanwhile, Neil Lennon has replaced Rodgers at Celtic – at least until the end of the season.

The former Northern Ireland international will be officially unveiled later today (Wed).

It is the second time Lennon has been at the Parkhead helm.

He had a spell of four years there from 2011 during which he guided his side to three league titles and two Scottish Cups.
