Chris Sutton has reacted to Brendan Rodgers' Celtic appointment insisting that Hoops fans must get behind their new boss.
The Northern Irishman has penned a three-year deal at Parkhead and he replaces Ange Postecoglou who left for Tottenham Hotspur two weeks ago.
Rodgers returns four years and four months after his sudden departure to Leicester after winning seven out of seven domestic trophies with the Hoops.
That departure was met with widespread fury amongst the Celtic support and some have already voiced their concerns over the appointment.
Former striker Sutton though has urged Celts fans to get behind the new manager.
He tweeted: "Good luck to Brendan Rodgers going back to Celtic. He left previously under a cloud but no doubting his ability as a coach and his record last time round was phenomenal.
"It’s important regardless of how Celtic fans felt with his previous departure that everyone gets behind him."
Rodgers said on the club’s website: “I am really delighted to return to Celtic and I am hugely excited by this great opportunity. When I was given the privilege of being asked to join the club again, it was a very simple decision for me and my family.
“We have enjoyed some great times at Celtic before and this will be my goal again, to deliver good football, ensure we have a team we all love to watch and ultimately bring more success to our fans.
“Ange has done some brilliant work across the last two years and I will be doing all I can to maintain Celtic’s momentum as we face into all our domestic and European challenges.
“We have a hugely impressive and talented group of players and staff at the club, and I am really looking forward to meeting up with them all and then getting straight down to work.”
Celtic confirmed their coaching staff underneath Rodgers will remain unchanged with John Kennedy and Gavin Strachan both staying despite reported interest from Tottenham.
