Brendan Rodgers appears to be enjoying life away from Celtic as his new video promotion for Al Qadsiah shows this week.
The former Celtic boss was dressed up in full Saudi Arabian ‘Sheikh’ garb as Rodgers promoted the country’s Founding Day on the club’s social media channel.
Rodgers joined Al Qadsiah months after his resignation from Celtic and the Northern Irishman is enjoying a record-breaking 13-game unbeaten run.
And it appears the Celtic treble-winner has been welcomed in with open arms as Al Qadsiah dress Rodgers up to send a message to the Saudi Arabian people on their special day.
Ex-Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers’ Founding Day video goes viral
Rodgers looked slightly uncomfortable as he donned the new outfit and sent a message to the Saudi Arabian people.
Rodgers told Al Qadsiah on X, “I think it very probably looks a lot cooler on other people. But, you know, I think today is about respecting founding day here in Saudi Arabia. And of course, I will always respectfully wear it.
“I want to give my sincere congratulations to the people of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has a real rich heritage and a really exciting future ahead.
“I’ve only been here two months, but I feel a real peace with the people here, the kindness of everyone and, like I said, there’s a real exciting future ahead for the people of Saudi Arabia.”
