Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW 📺Eighty per cent of all televised Premier League games next season are on Sky SportsI think having now come through the first spell to the second spell I now know 100 per cent youll lose some of your best players, but they can always be replaced like the manager can be replaced, Rodgers told Sky Sports.
Celtics in a great moment as a football club both on the pitch and off the pitch and my job is to keep driving the vision forward. The 52-year-old is under contract until the summer of 2026 and has already confirmed he will 200 per cent be the Celtic manager next season.
I made my promise to be here to ensure that people felt the stability that I would be and of course some noises around the end of this season, so I just wanted to make sure that there was no distractions there, he added.
Im sure at some point Ill sit with Dermot and the board and well have a chat around the future but we havent touched on that yet. The focus has been purely on being successful this season and then well arrive into the summer with real positivity and a real positive energy and I think thats whats important.

Sky Sports Chris Sutton on Rodgers Celtic future: I think thats very difficult [to know if hell stay beyond next summer].
I think theres a lot of things which come into the equation. Domestically hes only missed out on two trophies in his two spells. If Celtic go and win another treble next season, for example, and do okay in the Champions League – they will have to qualify first of all, which is never easy, but then if they progress, if they show a bit of progress, get out of the group stage, I think Celtic would take that.
Maybe hed take that, but there will come a time when he eventually thinks, I want a different challenge. I think every manager has a shelf life at Celtic or at Rangers, but hes been so dominant. So its down to him.
I mean hes never going to cut short this three-year period, unless the club cuts it short. Thats never going to be the case.
