If Brendan Rodgers thought that the storm over his sudden exit from Celtic would blow over he’d do well to avoid social media.
Any set-back for Leicester is greeted with joy by Celtic supporters as they take a look from the outside of the man perfectly parodied by the Deluded Brendan Twitter account.
For almost three years there was barely a word said against the former Liverpool boss as he swept Celtic to domestic domination.
Some hammerings in Europe were concerning but with a Treble, double Treble and a third to go for no one was paying too much attention. Four wins on the bounce at Ibrox covered up for a lot.
At the end of February it all poured out as Celtic fans realised that the manager they had adored was just another mercenary, another badge kisser oozing insincerity with every soundbite. Whatever the audience Rodgers delivered the right, soothing words.
Leicester have had a great start to the season, the ego has been growing further but a defeat at Manchester City suggests that the pull of gravity is underway- with Celtic fans looking forward to see one wonderful human being brought to earth with a thump.
If Rodgers thinks that time is a healer he should perhaps catch up with Mo Johnston or Charlie Nicholas for an update on their relationship with Celtic supporters.

So the next time you see Danny McGrain you remember to say sorry and tell him I was asking for him.
