Rodgers won't leave Celtic amid Newcastle & Leicester links - Hartson

Brendan Rodgers will not leave Celtic anytime soon for a return to the Premier League with either Newcastle or Leicester, according to former Bhoys striker John Hartson.

Rodgers has previously enjoyed relative success in England’s top flight after guiding Swansea to safety and almost winning a league title with Liverpool.

He has been linked with a return to the Premier League, with Rafa Benitez’s Newcastle yet to win a game this season and Claude Puel’s brand of football at Leicester attracting criticism, however, Hartson does not think Rodgers would leave the Scottish champions.
