With an FA Cup Final next month and a Champions League place within reach Brendan Rodgers should have plenty to contend with at Leicester City.
Over two years ago he quit Celtic in mid-season to return to the EPL, making his priorities very clear.
Less than halfway through a four-year contract Rodgers decided to ditch the club that he was apparently born into. One day he was on the training ground at Lennoxtown, the next he was signing a deal at Leicester, slipping out of Scotland overnight with the details of his Leicester contract agreed in double-quick time.

For reasons best known to himself Rodgers feels the need to discuss the Glasgow Derby every time the fixture comes around. A question might crop up in a general all-in media conference but when he sits down for a one-to-one with Sky Sports the questions are known in advance.
When asked about Steven Gerrard’s side matching the Celtic Invincibles of 2016/17 Rodgers didn’t jump in with the fact that his side won a treble, instead he settled for ‘their probably disappointed that they didn’t do better in the cups’. At Ibrox this season there will be two trophies less on display.
