Rodgers provides update on Celtic future talks as transfer confession made

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers will at some point sit down with Dermot Desmond and the club's board to discuss his future. 

The 52-year-old is about to enter the final year of his Parkhead contract. 

Rodgers assured supporters last month that he would be '200 per cent' in charge next season.

Discussions will soon take place about what may happen beyond that, though: "I'm sure at some point, I'll sit with Dermot and the board, and we'll have a chat around the future," he told Sky Sports

"But we haven't touched on that yet. The focus has been purely on being successful this season. We'll arrive into the summer with real positivity and a real positive energy. I think that's what's important." 

It remains to be seen where Celtic may look to strengthen in the transfer market this summer. 

Kieran Tierney will return to the club on a free transfer, although Rodgers has conceded that he may be forced to let go of some of his top talents.

Indeed, the Irishman has grown to learn that Celtic can't keep hold of their key men for prolonged spells: "Having now come through the first spell to the second spell, I now know 100 per cent, you'll lose some of your best players," he said. 

"But they'll always be replaced, like the manager can be replaced. 

"Celtic is in a great moment as a football club both on and off the pitch, and it's my job to drive that forward."
