Some Celtic fans have slammed Brendan Rodgers after a video of the former Parkhead boss went viral on social media.
Hoops-related page @OkCeltic posted a video of Rodgers speaking to an audience. He spoke about how special his time at Celtic was. He talked about the trophies he won at Parkhead and how he still follows the club and kept in touch with Celtic players.
On seeing this video, many Celtic fans were raging. They slammed the former manager despite all he achieved at the club.

Does Rodgers deserve any respect from Celtic fans?
He deserves abuse
We should respect him
Not that you did.
It’s how you did.— Wladek Wolanski (@Spartackle) April 22, 2020

Just to be clear he was asked to go in the summer. HE insisted on going when he did. That is unprofessional.

Fitted up for a Leicester city suit before we even played in the champions league game away to Seville, Tried to take all backroom and training staff with him. He’ll never be back for the 10 in a row celebration, He made his bed and he will regret it

Rodgers joined Celtic as the club’s manager in the summer of 2016 before returning to the Premier League with Leicester City in February 2019 (via Transfermarkt).
What do we think?
As the manager at Parkhead, Rodgers won two Premiership titles. He also won two Scottish Cup titles and a total of three League Cup titles (via Transfermarkt).
One can see why Celtic fans would be angry at Rodgers for leaving before the end of the season and taking some staff with him, but it could be argued he should be respected for delivering back-to-back trebles at Parkhead, despite the nature of his departure.
