Celtic Boss Brendan Rodgers Faces Possible Ban Amid Sexual Misconduct Allegations
Celtic FC manager Brendan Rodgers is under intense scrutiny following allegations of sexual misconduct that could lead to a professional ban. Sources close to the investigation have confirmed that football authorities are reviewing claims brought forward earlier this month.
The nature of the allegations remains undisclosed publicly, but they are serious enough that the Scottish Football Association (SFA) and Celtic FC have both acknowledged an internal review is underway. A statement from Celtic on Monday said, *“We are aware of the allegations concerning our head coach, Brendan Rodgers, and are cooperating fully with the relevant authorities.”*
Rodgers, 52, who returned to Celtic in 2023 after a stint with Leicester City, has not commented publicly. However, his legal team has denied any wrongdoing, calling the allegations “baseless and damaging.”
The SFA is expected to determine within weeks whether disciplinary action, including a potential touchline ban or suspension, will be enforced while the investigation proceeds. This comes at a critical time for the club, with Celtic chasing another league title and preparing for crucial European fixtures.
Fans have expressed mixed reactions, with many urging due process while others demand immediate action. Social media has been flooded with speculation, though both the club and the SFA have urged restraint and respect for privacy.
If found guilty of any misconduct, Rodgers could face not only a ban but also long-term damage to his managerial career. For now, he remains in his post, but uncertainty looms over Celtic Park.
