Angry Celtic fans had a message for their now former manager Brendan Rodgers on Wednesday night.

A scathing banner in the away end at Hearts on Wednesday night summed up the feeling of the Celtic support towards former manager Brendan Rodgers, according to Rod Stewart.

The new Leicester boss left Celtic Park out of the blue on Tuesday, with the club in the middle of another treble chase.

Music star Stewart said that he and his fellow supporters are ‘bitter’ over the Carnlough man’s sudden departure to Leicester City earlier this week.

A banner was unfurled calling out Rodgers for discussing his love for the club but leaving when on the cusp of securing an historic treble treble. The banner read: ‘You traded immortality for mediocrity, never a Celt, always a fraud’

Rodgers won back-to-back domestic trebles with the club in the past two seasons and was in contention to remarkably repeat the feat once again this year.

However, he instead opted to take the vacant Foxes job after Claude Puel left the King Power.

“I hope you die in your sleep, Brendan Rodgers, hope you die in your sleep I pray, hope you die, hope you die, Brendan Rodgers, from a bullet from the IRA,” the minority contingent sang.

Obviously, this was a small number of Celtic fans, and once the footage was shared to Twitter, it was immediately shot down by countless supporters who quickly shunned the disgraceful few.

One Celtic fan wrote: “Totally out of order, if he didn’t want to be here fine move on Celtic bigger than one person, yes be bitter and angry but that is disgusting.”

“Celtic fan here utterly disgraceful! I was fuming at what Rodgers done but this is disgusting. Trust me some of us just love the game of football not this filth!” another wrote.
