Brendan Rodgers will face the media in his first press conference since his return to Celtic later this week.

The new Parkhead boss returned to the club on a three-year deal to replace Ange Postecoglou.

And the club confirmed Rodgers will conduct a press conference at Celtic Park this week.

A statement confirmed: "Brendan will conduct a media conference at Celtic Park later this week."

Now, the Daily Record reports that the press call will be held on Friday.

It's expected Rodgers will face questions on his exit from Celtic in 2019 for Leicester with some sections of the Parkhead support still angry over his departure.

The press conference could present the opportunity for Rodgers to set out his vision for the club moving forward too.

On his return to Celtic, Rodgers told the club website:“I am really delighted to return to Celtic and I am hugely excited by this great opportunity. When I was given the privilege of being asked to join the club again, it was a very simple decision for me and my family.

“We have enjoyed some great times at Celtic before and this will be my goal again, to deliver good football, ensure we have a team we all love to watch and ultimately bring more success to our fans.

“Ange has done some brilliant work across the last two years and I will be doing all I can to maintain Celtic’s momentum as we face into all our domestic and European challenges. 

“We have a hugely impressive and talented group of players and staff at the club, and I am really looking forward to meeting up with them all and then getting straight down to work. 

“I wanted John to be with me as we move forward. He is a very talented coach, someone I know well and respect and he will be very important to myself and our players.

“The club is in fantastic condition at all levels and I would like to thank the board for putting their trust in me to take the team forward. We will work very closely together as we strive to bring that success to our supporters.

“Let’s get to work!”
