FORMER Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers’ house has been broken into in Bearsden, near Glasgow, it is being reported.

A number of items have been stolen in the early-morning East Dunbartonshire raid, reports the Daily Record.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman told the Evening Times: “At around 1.55am on Wednesday, March 6, police received a report of a break-in at a property in Bearsden.

“No-one was injured in the incident, but a number of items have been stolen from the property.

“An investigation is underway and enquiries are ongoing.”

The former Hoops boss left suddenly for Leicester last week, angering Celtic fans.

On Tuesday, assistant manager of Celtic John Kennedy said the team has fed off the extra backing they received from a fan base mobilised by their anger over Rodgers’ departure.

The Scottish champions emerged unscathed from a tumultuous few days following Rodgers’ exit.

While fans have vented their anger towards their departed manager, fans’ favourite Neil Lennon returned to lead Celtic to two victories in Edinburgh against Hearts and Hibernian.

Kennedy told the Celtic View: “What I’ve noticed in the last week was the fans are disappointed and a bit angry. But it’s worked in the players’ favour because they’ve had the support and a really strong backing from the fans.

“There always is here at Celtic but there’s an extra bit here just now.

“We’ve all felt it around the place and the players have fed off that, especially going away to Hearts and Hibs where it’s always difficult.

“Hopefully on Saturday against Aberdeen it’ll be a great atmosphere that the players can thrive on.”
