Celtic fans react to title win: Better football & signings needed

Al: Brendan inherited an utter mess. Ange signed 29 players, 20 of whom were third rate and nowhere near Premiership class…let alone Celtic class. Rodgers has done a great job in testing circumstances. A much better brand of football has re-emerged when it mattered.

Stefan: I was a bit worried when Brendan Rodgers returned – not because he’s bad but because Postecoglu did such a good job, I thought we might have struggled under a new manager. Also, Neil Lennon’s return and how we struggled during his second tenure.

SPB: We’re glossing over the cracks here. He left knowing full well what the board had done with previous (better) managers. He returns with his tail between his legs and almost destroys the way we played the game in the previous seasons. He came back under the premise of guaranteed backing and I don’t see that yet? I won’t be surprised if he does it again.

Scott: I have to admit I doubted Rodgers coming back, but given the system the players were used to at the start of the season, the injuries and some poor performances he has turned things around and is moulding a squad that will hopefully deliver for a number of years to come.

JP, Glasgow: Given the injuries and the general sense of ennui at Brendan’s re-appointment, this ranks as a really good title win. He has squeezed every bit of juice from a squad which whilst willing, were much less talented than its predecessors. In the big moments, Brendan and the big players have showed up, and shown who runs this town.

Karl: Brendan Rodgers is made of strong stuff, to come back with the support still split over what happened previously and let’s face it a weakened squad, he has stuck with it against a negative narrative and a groundswell that had Rangers winning the treble. It just proves he’s an elite manager and he will rate this title above the others.

Dylan: There’s no doubt that this season was tough and challenging for Celtic, as we faced various issues – such as not spending in January. However, Brendan Rodgers is a top manager and knows how to win league titles at Celtic. It is a relief to get over the line knowing how close Rangers have been this season, but Celtic have the quality players.
