Celtic have confirmed that Rodgers is in talks to become Leicester City’s new manager.
John Hartson has insisted he is not on Celtic’s radar to succeed Brendan Rodgers.
Celtic confirmed on Tuesday morning that they have “very reluctantly” allowed Rodgers to hold talks with Leicester City about the Foxes’ managerial vacancy. And the Ulsterman’s move to Leicester is expected to be finalised.
According to BBC Sport, Rodgers’ likely successor is the former Celtic manager and ex-Hartson teammate, Neil Lennon – although some Bhoys fans have suggested the Welshman himself as a possible alternative.
However, Hartson tweeted earlier:
Unlike Lennon, Hartson has never before managed a professional football club, although he did once hold a part-time coaching position at Newport County.
The 43-year-old has spent much of his post-retirement years working as a pundit for various media broadcasters, including the BBC and BT Sport.
Lennon, who led Celtic to two Scottish Premiership titles and three domestic cups as manager, left Hibernian by mutual consent earlier this year.
