Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has suggested to the club’s official Twitter page that he is not concerned about Brendan Rodgers reportedly leaving Celtic for Leicester City.
According to The Scottish Sun, former Liverpool manager Rodgers is in talks with Leicester City over becoming their new boss.
It has been reported that Celtic chiefs have given Rodgers permission to speak to the Foxes, and that the Premier League club have agreed to pay a £6 million compensation fee.
Rangers manager Gerrard worked with Rodgers during his time at Liverpool, but the former England international does not appear to be too bothered about him leaving the Hoops for the Foxes.
The news about Rodgers reportedly leaving Celtic for Leicester broke this morning, and while it may come as a massive surprise to fans of the Glasgow giants, Chris Sutton did predict that it will happen, probably not now but in the summer.
Sutton said on The Monday Night Club show on BBC Radio 5 live on Monday evening (7:55pm, February 25, 2019): “It’s just what I think will happen. I would say don’t downgrade yourself from Celtic.
“You get European football at Celtic, you won’t at Leicester. I don’t want to see him leave Celtic, but I think it will happen.”
