Brendan Rodgers was asked how his Celtic side would compare to Martin O’Neill’s in 2003 and believes the two teams are “totally different”.
Under O’Neill (2000-2005), who is currently the Republic of Ireland manager, Celtic won three Scottish Premiership titles, three Scottish Cups, one Scottish League Cup and a UEFA Cup runners-up medal.
Rodgers (2016-present) has won two Premiership titles, two Scottish Cups and two League Cups, leading Celtic to an unbeaten league campaign in his debut season in charge while winning back-to-back domestic trebles.
The Hoops’ boss believes the team of old were able to sign players of a higher calibre than him which may give them the edge in a comparison.
