Brendan Rodgers has left his role as Celtic manager, the Scottish Premiership club announced on Monday, ending his second spell in charge after a poor start to the season.

"Brendan Rodgers has today tendered his resignation. It has been accepted by the club and Brendan will leave his role with immediate effect,” Celtic said in a statement.

Rodgers' exit comes after mounting pressure over results, including a shock Champions League qualifying defeat by Kazakhstan’s Kairat Almaty in August and a 3-1 league loss at Hearts on Sunday that left Celtic trailing in the title race.

Celtic's former boss Martin O'Neill, 73, has been appointed interim manager.
