Celtic: Brendan Rodgers top candidate for manager's job
Last updated on .From the section Celtic

Former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has emerged as the frontrunner to become the new manager of Celtic.
The BBC has learned that the Northern Irishman, 43, met club representatives for several hours on Wednesday.
Dermot Desmond, Celtic's biggest individual shareholder, has described Rodgers as "a great manager".
But he added that "in excess of six" candidates had been interviewed for the position, which is available following the departure of Ronny Deila.
"We're excited about the managers we've interviewed and discussed," Desmond said. "Hopefully in the next few days, we will decide and enter negotiations."
Deila's two-year tenure ended with Sunday's 7-0 win over Motherwell.
Under the Norwegian, the club won consecutive Premiership titles, taking their run of top-flight crowns to five, with the previous three won under Neil Lennon.
However, they have not reached the group stages of the Champions League since Lennon's time in charge.
Asked about Rodgers, who has also managed Watford, Reading and Swansea City, Desmond said: "He's a great manager.
"He's proved it at Liverpool and I think he's a worthy candidate for Celtic, as all the other candidates are."
Former Scotland and Celtic defender Malky Mackay, 44, has also spoken to the club about the vacancy.
Like Rodgers, Mackay began his managerial career at Watford. He then had a spell in charge of Cardiff City before he was sacked by Wigan Athletic.
Four other former Celtic players - David Moyes, Roy Keane, Paul Lambert and Lennon - have also all been strongly linked with the job.
So has former West Brom and Reading boss Steve Clarke.

how is it a shockingly pointless league?
It may be irrelevant to you but for millions of Scots it is the most relevant league in the world because their team plays in it. If your logic is the margin of victory then PSG won Ligue 1 by a greater margin than Celtic did the SPL this year - is Ligue 1 pointless? Does Leicester winning the EPL by 10 points not make it pretty pointless?
More ego than talent.
Tactically stupid, just an FA manual 'press ' 'work hard'.
At Pool he inherited Gerrard and Saurez otherwise he would of been sunk within months. Remember, he thinks players like Shelvey and Allen are worldies.
For Celtics sake give him a swerve. Only twitter want him back on the managerial circuit.
You only have to look at the decline in the player of the year. When it was Gazza, Laudrup & Larrson, you could argue it was still a half decent league but Griffiths? I'm sure he's a decent player but come on, could he get in any side in the Premier Lge?
We were Rangers then.
We are Rangers now.
We will be Rangers forever no matter what any of you say ??
Get over yourselves..............
'roy keane the dunderhead'
