Brendan Rodgers did not give Kris Commons one chance to impress for Celtic this season.
Celtic midfielder Kris Commons has admitted to the Scottish Herald that the last 12 months have been the most frustrating period of his career.
Commons has fallen out of favour at Celtic since Brendan Rodgers took charge.
The 33-year-old failed to make an appearance for the Bhoys this season, with Rodgers favouring alternative options.
Although Commons did play five times on loan for Hibernian, he simply did not play enough first-team football to feel satisfied.
And the experienced midfielder admits that he has found the last year very tough.
“These last 12 months have been the most frustrating of my career in a playing sense,” Commons said.
“I had a good stint of training between October and December, went on loan to Hibs and then I started feeling my back when I returned.
“That’s been the frustrating thing. I’ve not been able to get to a top level of football. But actually being behind the scenes at Celtic, watching what the boys have been doing on the park, has filled the void.”
Commons is now set to officially leave Celtic in the very near future, with his contract due to expire.
Commons has hinted that he could look to retire this summer, but he will almost certainly have interest from other clubs in his services.
Over the years, Commons made 227 appearances for Celtic – scoring on 89 occasions.
