Celtic: Celtic Football Club announced that football manager Brendan Rodgers has resigned, adding that the process to appoint a new permanent manager is underway. During this interim period, former Celtic manager Martin O’Neill and former Celtic player Shaun Maloney will take charge of Celtic first-team matters, the club added.

According to Qatar News Agency, Celtic suffered a 1-3 defeat to league leaders Hearts of Midlothian in the Scottish Premiership summit clash, a result that extended the gap between the sides to eight points in favor of the Edinburgh club. Last August, Celtic also missed out on Champions League qualification after a penalty shootout loss to Kazakhstan’s Kairat Almaty.
