It has been over a year since Brendan Rodgers left Celtic, and nothing has really changed in Glasgow.

Celtic are still top dogs in Scotland, watching dreadful football, with recruitment a mess and a board still out of its depth.

But while it’s the same old, same old for the Scottish champions, Rodgers has a bit of a change himself, because he is now in ‘a good place physically and mentally’, as he told Matt Hall’s Fitness’ official website.

The fitness coach has clearly been putting the former Celtic boss through his paces, and the hard work has paid off – he’s now showing off a seriously ripped physique, as you can see from the images below.

Perhaps Rodgers, now the coach of Al Qadsiah in the Saudi Pro League, is preparing for another return to Celtic.

After all, Celtic love a comeback; just ask Martin O’Neill, Kieran Tierney, Jota, and Rodgers himself, as the LCFC SP official social media account posted images of the Hoops legend from Matt Hall’s Fitness’ official website.

Would Rodgers ever return to Celtic for a third time?

Nothing really has changed at the top at Celtic. Those same individuals – Dermot Desmond and Michael Nicholson, to name a few – are calling the shots, and it’s adding to the club’s decline.

Celtic still haven’t returned to the Champions League, with their last outing being under Rodgers’ stewardship, and the recruitment is still failing.

This is proven by six summer signings not even making the matchday squad for Celtic’s win over Kilmarnock before the November international break – Haissem Hassan, Oliver Sorensen, Shim Mheuka, Landon Emenalo, Jordan Lotomba and Joel van den Berg.

This is just further proof that Rodgers won’t be returning again. There would have to be a complete and utter clearout – in layman’s terms, new ownership, structure, and a board.

Until then, why would Rodgers want to swap the searing sun of the Middle East and the financially rewarding package of the Saudi Pro League to return to a Parkhead boardroom where he isn’t respected?!
