Celtic news: Keith Wyness drops explosive Brendan Rodgers sack verdict

According to Keith Wyness, the former head of Aberdeen, Brendan Rodgers would have lost his job if Celtic had not won the Scottish Premiership.

Speaking on the latest episode of Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast,

the 66-year-old stated that focus will now shift to getting the Hoops competitive in the Champions League,

where they have “a mountain to climb” to the top sides.

He held executive positions at Aberdeen from 2000 to 2004,

as well as long tenures as the head of Everton and Aston Villa.

Currently, he runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs.

On Wednesday, May 15, Celtic won the Scottish Premiership title with one game remaining, defeating Kilmarnock 5-0 on the road.

Only a few days prior, they had defeated Rangers 2-1 at Parkhead,

thereby ruining their hopes of unseating them for the title.

Up until March, Philippe Clement’s team was leading the race,

but Celtic won seven of their final eight games to win the championship.

For the title, Wyness stated in an interview with Football Insider’s Insider Track podcast,

“It was another great Old Firm game.” I believe Rodgers would have been fired if they hadn’t won the league this year.

He’s the hero now, and they have to perform well in order to go to the Champions League, which is the major competition each year.

In order to compete both domestically and in Europe,

Rodgers must get his team to peak at the appropriate periods the next season.

He has experience as a manager, so there’s no question about it.

“I expect him to have more resources, but he will know that the Champions League is a mountain to climb.”
