Brendan Rodgers praises Dermott Desmond and the Celtic board for making 'such a brave decision' in bringing him back to the club.
Brendan Rodgers has praised Celtic major shareholder Dermot Desmond and the Scottish champions' board for making "such a brave decision" in bringing him back to the club.
Celtic complete their Premiership season at home to St Mirren over lunchtime on Saturday, after which they will be presented with the Premiership trophy - a third in three seasons for the club. "They had the foresight and they had the acumen to be able to convince me to come back and I'm so glad that I did do.Celtic were knocked out of the League Cup early in the season and finished bottom of their Champions League group, but they were consistently top of the Premiership until February when Rangers edged ahead.
"I had to show a mental strength, like the team. Eventually, the work that we do, the processes we have in place, have come through in the end. Ultimately, I'm paid here to win and to develop a team to play in the way the fans want them to play. This last period, we can see that now."
