49ers could do Celtic a massive favour because here's the interesting thing about Brendan Rodgers – Chris Sutton

Brendan Rodgers is 200 per cent going to be at Celtic next season.

I know this because he stood six feet away from me on the Tannadice pitch and said so during a post-match television interview.

But beyond that? Well here’s the interesting thing. The Rangers fans are getting excited about the investment coming from the USA.

Yet, if those dollars bring a much-needed improvement at Ibrox, it might just play a massive role in ensuring that Celtic keep their most-successful living manager for even longer.

It might be that the 49ers end up doing the new 55ers a big, big favour.

Rodgers is a magnificent manager. The facts are staring you in the face in terms of trophies and don’t need to be repeated.

The fact he has managed to make proper progress in the Champions League is another major tick in his box. He said he was going back to Celtic to do just that and he has managed with the intention of building on it again next season.

But I can’t help but think it’s just as well there was the enthralling challenge of Europe’s highest level this season for Rodgers because, domestically, it can’t be overly easy to get driven.

Now, before anyone starts on me, no manager will get tired of winning trophies. If it’s anything like it felt for me as a player, it’s an incredible high.

Rodgers and captain Callum McGregor have spoken about how Celtic have normalised this scenario and it’s brilliant for them.

However, I don’t care how good it is, there is surely only so often you can keep doing
