The brutal reality of Rangers summer cull laid bare as Jury take Brendan Rodgers hint at face value

KEITH JACKSON: 100 per cent. Rodgers jumped ship first time around when he was heading towards a historic 10 in a row. That felt like he was turning his back on a once in a lifetime opportunity. He may believe it’s coming around again.

ANDY NEWPORT: He made the mistake of walking out on the Celtic faithful once before, I suspect Rodgers won’t make it again. I expect him to see out the final year of his contract at the very least.

CRAIG SWAN: The man has said it himself. He is 200 per cent going to be at Celtic next season. There is nothing really more to be said on that front.

GRAEME YOUNG: Yes. This Champions League playoff will be seismic and you can guarantee Celtic will be better placed for it than they were when AEK Athens shocked them in Rodgers’ third season of his first Parkhead term.

KEITH: That probably depends on the identity of the next boss. If Ferguson was to stay in charge then this squad would be obliterated. He’s worked with them long enough to know what needs to be done.

ANDY: There will be a few familiar faces pitching up next season but that’s simply because moving players on is no longer as simple as it used to be. Those who do cling on will be hugely fortunate because, put simply, Rangers have been an abject failure this term.

CRAIG: Not very many. It’s hard to build almost an entire title-winning team in one season, but Ange Postecoglou managed it at Celtic, so it can be done and that’s bad news for some Ibrox under achievers.

GRAEME: The cull should easily reach double figures and the only thing that will stop that from happening is trying to find the right offers. Danilo appears incapable to be relied upon such as the likes of Robin Propper, Kieran Dowell plus a host of free agents. This
