Brown: 'Madrid could come in for Rodgers'

Real Madrid could be tempted to make an approach for Brendan Rodgers when next on the lookout for a new manager, according to Celtic captain Scott Brown.

Celtic captain Scott Brown has claimed that he would not be surprised if European champions Real Madrid showed an interest in boss Brendan Rodgers.

The Ulsterman enjoyed a near-perfect campaign during his maiden term at Parkhead, winning the Scottish Premiership title and both domestic cups.

Rodgers was unable to guide his side beyond the group stage of the Champions League, though - a competition that Madrid would go on to win for the third time in four years.

Brown insists that the ex-Liverpool manager's work will not have gone unnoticed on the continent, however, telling the Glasgow Evening Times: "You never know as a player or a manager what is going to happen down the line. Real Madrid could come in for the gaffer over the next six months, you never know.

"You could probably understand teams would want him, the way we've been playing. Especially with what we did last year in winning the treble. You'd expect that, but for now he is signed up, and lucky enough for us we're going to get four more years with him, hopefully.

"But he has signed up, he's happy here and he's enjoying it. He's enjoying living in Bearsden and he's enjoying his life. He's the manager at a top-quality club."

Celtic won the Scottish top-flight crown last season in record-breaking fashion, racking up 106 points across their 38 fixtures.
