Leicester City boss, Brendan Rodgers has said he has no regrets about leaving Celtic.

Rodgers upset many Bhoys supporters when he walked out before the previous season had finished.

Celtic went on to win trophies under temporary and then permanent boss Neil Lennon, but Rodgers’ departure still irks fans.

When asked about those weeks, Rodgers said to reporters: “I don’t have regret.

“We achieved quite a lot in my period at Celtic. We created history.

“I lived the dream as manager there. It was like a magic carpet ride for three years.

“Then I had the chance to come back to the Premier League and I had to make a decision.

“It was a challenge I wanted to take on but there was sadness at leaving a club I genuinely loved.

“I adored the players – they were amazing from day one. There was an emptiness leaving them.

“The supporters I knew from growing up as one – but I made a professional decision.

“Hopefully my legacy at Celtic is the feeling the supporters had for those years.

“Hopefully some time later they can accept that.

“Now when I watch Neil, who I know well, I am so happy for him.

“I am happy for the guys, all the players and for the supporters to keep the momentum going.

“Hopefully they get the nine this year and then onto ten which would be absolutely brilliant.”
