Brendan Rodgers' departure seems to be proving a hard reality to digest for Celtic FC fans after yet another wave of accusing fingers being pointed at their former manager.

 

The Scottish side's fans displayed a number of banners in their stand during their away match against Hearts FC in the Scottish Premiership last night which ended in a Celtic Victory.

 

'You traded immortality for mediocrity', 'Never a Celt, always a fraud,' were the nasty messages displayed by the Celtic faithful to show their disgust for the former Liverpool manager's decision to leave the perennial Scottish champions.

He enjoyed a trophy-laden stint in Scotland but just couldn't resist the lure of millions of pounds to return to the Premier League.

 

The reaction by the Celtic fans shows just how they feel betrayed by a man they trusted to deliver immortality at Celtic Park.

 

On his part, Rodgers who narrowly missed out on the English Premier League title with Liverpool will be looking to give it another shot with former Champions Leicester City.
