Brendan Rodgers has left Celtic for Leicester City.
Earlier this week, Rodgers decided to leave his managerial role at Celtic to take the job at Leicester in the Premier League.
During the Hoops’ Scottish Premiership game against Heart of Midlothian away from home on Wednesday evening, Celtic fans unfurled a banner directed at Rodgers, which read: ‘You traded immortality for mediocrity. Never a Celt, always a fraud’, as reported on Sky Sports.
Former Scotland international striker McFadden has criticised Celtic fans for their banner.
McFadden told Sky Sports: “The banner that was displayed, I don’t think that’s right because he’s done well and won seven trophies and they’re in a good position to go and win the treble-treble.
“I don’t think he’s left them in a bad position but from the fans’ point of view, they would have liked for him to stay and see out the season, finish his job there and leave on better terms.
“They’re disappointed because of the kind of language that he used when he took over. He was a Celtic fan, it was his dream job, he was happy here and here for the long haul – those type of phrases. And then he leaves at the first chance.”
Moving on
Rodgers has left Celtic, and the Glasgow giants have appointed a new manager in Neil Lennon for the rest of the season.
Lennon is a former Celtic manager and was huge success at Celtic Park, and fans of the Glasgow giants should be optimistic about winning the treble under him this campaign.
Celtic are eight points clear of second-placed and bitter Old Firm rivals Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment.
