Brendan Rodgers' Celtic are eight points clear at the top of the Scottish PremiershipBrendan Rodgers is expected to become Leicester City's manager after Celtic gave him permission to speak to the Premier League club. Former Liverpool boss Rodgers cut short a BBC interview when asked about the Leicester vacancy after the champions' win over Motherwell on Sunday. Rodgers has won two Scottish Premierships, three Scottish League Cups and two Scottish Cups since arriving at Parkhead in the summer of 2016. The 57-year-old Frenchman left the club 12th in the Premier League having lost five of their past six league games. But there was always a feeling the former Liverpool boss wanted to try his luck once again in English football's top flight.
