Congratulations on Brendan Rodgers on the wonderful self assured performances meeting the MSSM and the Celtic fans. Of course Brendan is the fifth Irish man appointed Manager of this great club . 5 Irishmen from a total population of less than 5 million is certainly well represented .
I wonder will Brendan keep the assistant job in the family and appoint his cousin who was a well known club Manager in England and also an International Manager of note .

Old Bhoy, your humor is sometimes brilliant, but these ones fall far short of that.

Maybe his cousin actually has won something as manager.

The other Irish managers of Celtic were, Neil Lennon, Martin O'Neill, Liam Brady, and Sean Fallon.
I think I read somewhere that Brendan Rodgers cousin is Nigel Worthington, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

Aindoh u are right I was stupid and missed out on Sean Fallon .
Willie Malley was of course our first Manager, born in Newry the son of a British Army Soldier . Family moved to Scotland when he was young .

When Brendan talks about his Uncles and cousins great Celtic fans he was referring to his father's side of the house .
Brendan's mother belonged to a non Celtic supporting family and Nigel was a nephew of her.
When Brendan was a young teenager his father brought him to training and games a considerable distance.
