Every word of Brendan Rodgers' Celtic unveiling as he 'GUARANTEES' he'll see out contract and busts 2019 myth

He's promised to get Celtic fans dreaming again and now Brendan Rodgers is looking forward to really kickstarting his second coming in Glasgow.

The Irishman was announced as Hoops boss earlier this week after powerbroker Dermot Desmond pulled out all the stops to get the man who controversially left in 2019 for Leicester City back to Scotland, while captain Callum McGregor jetted out for a Spanish lunch to help seal the deal. Now the scarf has been raised above the head and he has officially been unveiled in a Parkhead press conference.

From why he left mid-season first time around to transfer budgets, Champions League ambition and everything in between, Rodgers sat down at length with the media - plus chief executive Michael Nicholson and chairman Peter Lawwell - to explain why he has come back for a second crack at the Celtic whip. Here is everything the returning boss said in his first press conference back with the champions.

"I am very privileged and honoured to be asked to come back. My plan was to have a year our and reset again but once I spoke to the guys at the club and looked a bit more deep into where the club was at, it was then pretty straightforward. The club is in a fantastic place and it made me really excited to come back. It wasn't a nostalgic move but I had an amazing time here when I was here but I am here to win going forward. I am really looking forward to hopefully achieving that."

"First and foremost, your bread and butter is always Scotland. You have to ensure you have dominance but what I would like to think we can do something in Europe, and that means... it is well documented over many years when the club hasn't qualified or got through a great record in terms of European football.
