No new contract talks for 'happy' Rodgers

Brendan Rodgers says he is "obviously very happy" at Celtic but admits there has not been "any conversation" about extending his stay at the club.

Rodgers is contracted until the end of next season and was asked whether Celtic's run to the Champions League play-off round would encourage him to stay beyond the summer of 2026.

"We've not really had any conversation around that," he said.

"What we'll always look at here is what's the very best thing for Celtic? Above any individual will always be what's right for Celtic."

Rodgers, who left Celtic midway through season 2018-19 and returned in the summer of 2023 has won a total of 10 trophies at the club and is on course for a domestic treble in the current campaign.

"Certainly, when I came back domestically, my record was okay and I knew to become better in Europe I needed a stronger squad," he explained.

"The club have been fantastic that way in terms of providing that. We've shown what we can do and all within the finances of the club. Hopefully, going forward, we can continue to push that way.

"We've set the standards for the next steps going forward. If we can perform like we did then there's no reason why you can't then move on to the last 16 or a quarter-final but that's all obviously part of the plan going forward.

"In terms of the length of me staying, I'm obviously very happy here but it'll always be what's best for Celtic. The real focus is finishing the season as strong as we can."
