Brendan Rodgers (picture) vowed to make his mark in Europe with Celtic after being named as the new Parkhead boss.

The 43-year-old’s appointment on a 12-month rolling contract was announced by the Premiership champions and he will meet the media and then Hoops supporters on Monday.

The former Swansea and Liverpool manager’s first games will be the Champions League qualifiers in mid-July and he will look to take them to the group stages after an absence of two years under predecessor Ronny Deila.

Rodgers told reporters that he was “delighted” and “genuinely” honoured to be named manager and outlined his objectives.

He said: “The club has been in magnificent shape in recent years and has collected silverware regularly during this time,” he said.

“My objective now, of course, is to continue this work, to keep us at the top and again make our mark in Europe.”
