"The scale of recent disharmony inside Celtic has come to light with the resignation of Brendan Rodgers. By way of immediate response the club's main and typically publicity-shy shareholder, Dermot Desmond, has remarkably unleashed on what he branded self-serving behaviour by Rodgers. In a further dramatic twist and two decades after leaving the club, Martin O'Neill will return to take charge of Celtic on an interim basis."
""I want to acknowledge Brendan's contribution across his two spells as manager, during which he helped deliver success that forms part of the club's modern history, said the Irish tycoon. However, I must also express my deep disappointment at the way the past several months have unfolded. When we brought Brendan back to Celtic two years ago, it was done with complete trust and belief in his ability to lead the club into a new era of sustained success."
Brendan Rodgers resigned as Celtic manager following growing internal disharmony. Dermot Desmond publicly criticized Rodgers' behaviour and communication while acknowledging past successes. Martin O'Neill will return as interim manager, assisted by Shaun Maloney, for the upcoming Falkirk match and the League Cup semi-final against Rangers. Rodgers' final match was a 3-1 defeat by Hearts, leaving Celtic eight points behind the league leaders. Rodgers had expressed frustration about a lack of summer transfer activity, a stance linked to supporter protests aimed at the board. The club faces uncertainty over a permanent successor.
