The Green Brigade have reacted to Brendan Rodgers' Celtic appointment by sharing a banner they unveiled after he left the club for Leicester City.

A large majority of the Hoops support reacted angrily to Rodgers departure at the time and the Green Brigade shared a banner making their feelings known.

It read: "You traded immortality for mediocrity, never a Celt, always a fraud."

After the appointment of Rodgers today the Green Brigade, on their North Curve Twitter account reshared the banner.

Rodgers said on the club’s website: “I am really delighted to return to Celtic and I am hugely excited by this great opportunity. When I was given the privilege of being asked to join the club again, it was a very simple decision for me and my family.

“We have enjoyed some great times at Celtic before and this will be my goal again, to deliver good football, ensure we have a team we all love to watch and ultimately bring more success to our fans.

“Ange has done some brilliant work across the last two years and I will be doing all I can to maintain Celtic’s momentum as we face into all our domestic and European challenges.

“We have a hugely impressive and talented group of players and staff at the club, and I am really looking forward to meeting up with them all and then getting straight down to work.”
