Celtic’s most prominent shareholder, Dermot Desmond, recently shared his views on the club’s progress under Brendan Rodgers. Known for his rare media appearances, Desmond expressed satisfaction with the direction Celtic is heading. Speaking during the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at St Andrew’s, he noted that despite the tough 7-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund, he remains pleased with Rodgers’ leadership and the team’s performances.
Desmond praised Celtic’s exciting start to the season, highlighting their strong domestic form and a dominant victory over Slovan Bratislava. Acknowledging the disappointment in the Champions League against Dortmund, he remained optimistic about the club’s campaign. Desmond stated that the aim is to secure good results at home and perhaps gain crucial points away, expressing confidence in Rodgers and the squad.
Having played a pivotal role in bringing Rodgers back to Celtic after Ange Postecoglou’s departure to Tottenham Hotspur, Desmond has remained a strong supporter of the manager. Rodgers himself has spoken about the unwavering support he received from Desmond and the board, especially when his return wasn’t universally celebrated.
Celtic are currently enjoying a united front, with the backing of Desmond and the board, positioning themselves for continued success under Rodgers as they aim to further progress domestically and in Europe.
