John Hartson has told The Sunday Post that he expects Brendan Rodgers to remain at Celtic for one more season.

Rodgers has been in charge of Celtic since the summer of 2016 and has been a huge success at the Glasgow giants.

The Hoops won the Scottish Premiership title, the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup last season.

The Bhoys have already won the Scottish League Cup this campaign and have progressed to the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup, and are also on course to winning the Scottish Premiership title.

Rodgers has been linked with Arsenal in the summer, with The Mirror reporting that the Gunners have the former Liverpool manager among the candidates to succeed Arsene Wenger at the Emirates Stadium.

Former Arsenal and Celtic striker Hartson believes that Rodgers will remain at Celtic Park until the end of the 2018-19 campaign at least.

Hartson wrote in The Sunday Post about Rodgers: “My feeling is that he will stay at Celtic for at least one more year. I think he will want to stay to try to achieve eight titles on the trot.

“He will maybe then review his position. But he also has a long-term contract with Celtic, and I don’t imagine he will be in any rush to leave. Only time will tell.”

Future at Celtic

Rodgers is loved and adored by the Celtic fans, and given the success he has had at the club, it is hard to see the former Swansea City boss leave in the summer of 2018.

Celtic fans need not worry about losing the former Liverpool manager anytime soon.
