Brendan Rodgers Slammed by Celtic Chief as Ex-Liverpool Boss Branded 'Divisive' and Atmosphere 'Toxic'

Dermot Desmond accuses Brendan Rodgers of toxic behavior and misleading supporters after a chaotic season start and summer transfer period at Celtic Football Club.

  • On Sunday, Brendan Rodgers tendered his resignation as Celtic manager following a 3-1 William Hill Premiership loss to Hearts that left Celtic eight points adrift.
  • A shambolic summer transfer period and the Kairat exit prompted unrest as the summer was marked by a lack of signings and an early Champions League exit to Kairat Almaty.
  • Dermot Desmond issued a blistering statement accusing Brendan Rodgers of being `misleading` and `toxic`, saying `the facts did not match his public narrative` after their over three-hour meeting.
  • Demanding answers, supporters have pressed Dermot Desmond, Michael Nicholson and Peter Lawwell while the board admitted transfer window failings and Martin O'Neill and Shaun Maloney took temporary charge.
  • Given Brendan Rodgers' previous trophy haul and recent return two years ago, the split highlights a sharp reversal as Dermot Desmond said focus now lies on restoring harmony and strengthening the squad.
