Erstwhile Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez was tipped to succeed Brendan Rodgers at Celtic a few months ago. The Northern Irishman left Parkhead in February to join Leicester City, and Neil Lennon was appointed as interim boss. While he has since been made permanent manager, Benitez was linked with taking over as his Newcastle contract came to an end. The former Liverpool boss left for the Chinese Super League, though, linking up with Dalian Yifang. Celtic have started the new campaign well under Lennon as they look to win a ninth Scottish Premiership title in a row and a fourth successive domestic treble.
