Brendan Rodgers issues fresh Celtic future update as stance unchanged

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has issued an update on his future.

The Parkhead boss admits he is '100 per cent' open to staying at the club beyond his current deal, which expires at the end of the season.

Rodgers, however, has yet to receive a new contract offer.

"It hasn't really changed from the last time," he said when asked about his future at a press conference this afternoon. "I would love to stay here longer, I've had informal chats with Dermot (Desmond) and Michael (Nicholson) but no offer to consider.

Asked if he was open to staying in the right circumstances, he responded: "100 per cent. I guaranteed I would do three years, and if going forward if I do get offered a deal, there does have to be conditions in that, that allow me to work the best I can."

Speaking on Celtic's relationship with their supporters after they released a lengthy statement over the international break, Rodgers added: "I'm not here to answer those questions because they are not mine. Over the coming weeks, it will become clear how that evolves.

"I'm not here to tell supporters how to feel. I know it, I feel it because I grew up with it, I know that the demands are. Supporters want to see the club develop not just domestically, we have to be looking to perform better in Europe.

"The quality of your life is the quality of your communication. After this summer that is something the club will most definitely look at. My thoughts currently are purely on getting the team back playing with our identity again.

"My job as the manager this is the situation I'm now in. I've never been more determined to succeed now the window is shut this season. In fact, it's my duty."
