The Hoops have scored 11 goals in their last three matches in all competitions
This is bad news for their Premiership rivals who know only too well what they are looking at so far as Brendan Rodgers ’ side are concerned. Nobody saw it coming when Celtic took six goals off Aberdeen in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final at Hampden last weekend. And the only man I know who tipped Celtic to beat RB Leipzig 3-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday night was the radio caller who told me that would be the final score an hour before kick-off.
He has proven that rumours of his unsuitability for the elite level of the game were unfounded. Rodgers is the highest-paid manager in Celtic’s history but, whatever he’s getting, it’s arguably not enough going forward. Who, at the end of his current contract next season, could replace Rodgers and offer the same guarantee of domestic domination and European respectability?

Rodgers said he would see out every day of his deal when he arrived for his second stint as manager. But do Celtic know what comes thereafter? The club got £8million in compensation when Rodgers left for Leicester City in mid-season and created a division among supporters which he has now healed for himself on the back of games like the one against Leipzig.
Others will inevitably follow, starting with Nicolas Kuhn if he can replicate Tuesday night’s form on a regular basis at home and particularly abroad. The manager regards the manipulation of players from one level to the next as an integral part of his skill set which, in turn, makes him the most valuable asset of all to employers.
