“Totally different” – Rodgers reveals truth on O’Neill’s 2013 Celtic side and who was better

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.
