Brendan Rodgers has told his Celtic critics to come back to him in May as he prepares for a second stint at Parkhead.
The Irishman was unveiled on Friday afternoon after his three-year-contract to replace Ange Postecoglou as manager was signed earlier this week. There are sections of the Hoops support who are unsure on his appointment after mid-season departure for Leicester City first time around in 2019 prompted anger, and Rodgers has acknowledged it was a painful experience for both him and the supporters.
He has offered his regrets but insists those who still doubt should check in on the 22/23 Treble winners next Spring. In an address to fans outside the stadium, he said: "When I left here four years ago it was probably one of the saddest days of my life. I went on to a different challenge so I regret if anyone stood here or at home were hurt, as I know I hurt many people.
"But it's that very reason I am here today. So for those who are with me and always have been, let's enjoy the journey.
"For those who I need to convince, I will see you here in May. Thank you very much for coming, Hail Hail."
