Manchester City loanee Patrick Roberts eager to pay back Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers: 'He puts a lot of trust in me and I strive to repay that, I can only get better for him'

Patrick Roberts is keen to repay the trust shown in him by Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers.

Rodgers played a key role in bringing Roberts back to the club on loan this summer following a hugely impressive campaign last season that helped the club win a domestic treble and finish the season unbeaten.

It was a drawn-out switch from Manchester City, but Rodgers eventually got his wish and the attacking midfielder was delighted to link back up with his team-mates and manager.
