Neil Warnock thinks Brendan Rodgers deserves the utmost credit for the job he has carried out during his second spell at Celtic.
The 76-year-old spent a brief stint in charge of Aberdeen last season, during which he claimed Rodgers was being 'slaughtered'.

Indeed, Celtic were amid a title fight and just managing, if not struggling, to get over the line in several league matches.
They ultimately won the title by eight points, although this year, their lead come the end of the campaign was a considerable 17.
"All credit to Brendan," Warnock told The Herald.
"A little over 12 months ago, when I was here, he was getting slaughtered.
"To do what he has done proves what a good manager he is. I mean, 17 points? Bloody hell."
Some might consider Celtic's levels of domestic dominance normal, easy, or perhaps routine. Warnock, though, understands that it takes shrewd investment from the club, along with having an elite manager at the helm.
"Let’s wait and see what they do when Brendan goes, then," he said.
"Let’s see how easy it is then.
"To be fair, they’ve invested right. They’ve run the club the right way the last few years.
"They have sold players when they needed some money and they’ve pretty much supported him with what he wants signings wise. That’s what you get when you have something running smoothly."
Celtic could wrap up a ninth domestic treble when they face Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park later this afternoon.
