Brendan Rodgers has resigned as Celtic manager with former boss Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney being put in temporary charge at Parkhead.
Rodgers’ second spell at Celtic ended after Sunday’s 3-1 William Hill Premiership defeat at Hearts left them eight points adrift of the Edinburgh side.
A club statement read: “Celtic Football Club can confirm that football manager Brendan Rodgers has today tendered his resignation.
