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?
21. Gustaf Lagerbielke
Signed for £3million from Swedish side Elfsborg, Lagerbielke almost immediately struggled at Parkhead. Did enjoy one memorable moment in green and white, scoring the winning goal against Feyenoord in the Champions League, but largely failed to impress. Returned to Celtic earlier this month with new club Braga, and performed well, leading some fans to wonder if he should have been given more of a chance by the ex-Celtic boss. | SNS Group Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
22. Eboue Kouassi
Celtic paid £3 million to bring the Ivorian international from Krasnodar way back in 2017, and he went on to win seven trophies during his four seasons at Celtic, but struggled to play regular football. Showed some potential, but injuries and lack of regular game time prevented him from flourishing. Still just 27, he plays in the Portuguese second-tier with União de Leiria. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
23. Maik Nawrocki
The Polish centre-back has never fully justified his £4.3million outlay, and struggled upon his arrival from Legia Warsaw in the summer of 2023. Performed well when called upon for Celtic last season, but was often left out for the likes of Auston Trusty. Currently on loan at Hannover 96 in the German second tier. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
24. Michel-Ange Balikwisha
One of Rodgers' final signings as Celtic manager, the Belgian winger has struggled in his first two months at Parkhead. Bought for a fee of around £5million, fans will hope he can kick on in the months to come, and he has plenty of time to change the minds of those unimpressed by his early performances. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
