Brendan Rodgers has stepped down as Celtic coach after a disappointing start, marking the end of his second tenure with the club. Martin O'Neill, a former manager, has been installed as an interim replacement.

Rodgers' resignation was confirmed by Celtic after accumulating pressure due to unsatisfactory results such as a significant Champions League qualifying defeat against Kairat Almaty and a loss to Hearts which left them trailing in the title hunt.

Celtic acknowledged Rodgers' contributions during his successful spells, which included multiple domestic treble wins, and wished him well for the future. O'Neill, a former treble-winning manager with Celtic, will temporarily lead the team alongside Shaun Maloney.
