It has been another season where Brendan Rodgers has delivered the title and seen off another Rangers manager.
That’s four out of four titles Rodgers has put on the table over his two spells as Celtic manager, and you sense there is more to come.
Everyone knows that Rodgers will be in charge next season, but who will be in the dugout at Ibrox for Rangers?
As of this moment, Barry Ferguson is in interim charge, and he has made little to no difference, as the Gers crashed out of Europe to Athletic Bilbao, and are yet to win at home under their former midfielder.
That included Celtic’s 1-1 draw at Rangers on Sunday, where Adam Idah scored the equalising goal, and then Daizen Maeda missed a glorious chance to win it right at the end.
Simon Jordan sends Celtic and Brendan Rodgers warning to Rangers regarding Barry Ferguson
Simon Jordan hired and fired many managers during his reign as Crystal Palace owner, which saw them earn promotion to the Premier League, before relegation followed.
Now, speaking on talkSPORT, Jordan has told Rangers that they would be ‘foolish’ to give Ferguson the permanent job.
The 57-year-old highlighted Rodgers in the other dugout and how, ‘that’s what you are competing with’ at Celtic.
“Depends on how foolish they are,” responded Jordan on Rangers possibly giving Ferguson the manager’s job.
“If they want to be unsuccessful, then give him the job. It’s an honest assessment, in my view. If you are getting beaten by teams like St Mirren at home, and Hibernian.
“Do you put Barry Ferguson in that dugout and say that ‘he is better than Brendan Rodgers’, because that’s what you are competing with.
“You aren’t competing with the other teams in the league. You are competing with Brendan Rodgers, so, unless you are going to give him more money than Brendan Rodgers has got, in terms of spend on players, what advantages are you going to have by having Barry Ferguson?
“Because he kicked a ball for you once, and he was completely unsuccessful in any other manager guise that he has had.”
Rodgers’ record as Celtic manager
Does anyone have a chance against Rodgers? Whoever is on the opposite side, they can’t live with the Northern Irishman.
Yes, Steven Gerrard ended Rangers’ title wait and stopped the ten, but it was only after Rodgers had left his post and joined Leicester City.
Over Rodgers’ two spells in Scotland, he has wiped the floor with anything and everything that has been put in front of him.
