Brendan Rodgers’ second stint as Celtic head coach is over after the Northern Irish manager tendered his resignation to the Scottish champions on Monday afternoon.
His second spell in charge of the club, Rodgers departs Celtic for a second time, having won a total of 11 trophies during his time in Glasgow, with popular former manager Martin O’Neill placed in interim charge of the club, though the 73-year-old has been clear that he does not want the role on a permanent basis.
Despite the sour ending, the 52-year-old’s two stints in charge of the club have brought endless amounts of success. His first summer transfer window saw him recruit the likes of Scott Sinclair, Moussa Dembele and, perhaps less memorably, Dorus de Vries. During his time at Parkhead, fan favourites such as Patrick Roberts and Odsonne Edouard were also big successes under the head coach - but which signing offered Celtic the most, and who was his biggest flop?
Here we rank all 59 Celtic players signed by Rodgers from worst to best and ask - where are they now?
53. Adam Idah
A difficult one to judge. Was he worth the £9.5million the club forked out for him? The fact that he was sold for £7million a year after his arrival indicates he was not. That said, the Irish striker bagged some extremely important goals on the way to the 2024 and 2025 title wins, while his last-minute goal against Rangers in the Scottish Cup final will live long in the memory of supporters. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
54. Patrick Roberts
A big fan favourite, the tricky Englishman had a three-season loan at Celtic between 2015 and 2018. Scoring 17 goals in all competitions for the club, Roberts won seven trophies with the Hoops and is remembered fondly as a talented and exciting player. Currently playing with Birmingham City, who he joined on loan in the summer after helping Sunderland win promotion to the English Premier League via the playoffs. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
55. Kristoffer Ajer
Ajer spent five years with Celtic before signing for English Premier League side Brentford for a fee of £13million. Cost just £650,000 when he arrived in the summer of 2016, won nine trophies with the club, and made the club a huge profit when he departed. One of Rodgers' best value signings. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
56. Scott Sinclair
Still one of Brendan Rodgers' most successful purchases during his first spell at Celtic, the English winger was a player of the year winner in his debut season, scoring 62 goals in 167 games and winning three consecutive trebles. Now 36, he returned to the club where he began his career, Bristol Rovers, in 2022. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
