NafisaBRENDAN RODGERS has affirmed his commitment to pursuing a fifth consecutive title next season after guiding Celtic to their fourth straight championship at Tannadice.
Celtic secured the league crown with a 5-0 thrashing of Dundee United this afternoon.
The Celtic manager, 52, promptly dismissed rumors about his future at Parkhead.
The boss has been associated with several Premier League positions in recent months and has been tipped by figures like Ally McCoist to depart the Hoops a year before his contract ends.
The Rangers icon claimed this week that he believes the Hoops manager will be a target for Tottenham Hotspur, who are anticipated to part ways with Ange Postecoglou in the summer.
McCoist was then challenged by snooker legend John Higgins live on TV for his remarks about Rodgers’ future at Parkhead.
But resolute Rodgers, who spoke about his future with a heartfelt statement on Sky Sports, said after the victory: There has been “I will be here next year, 150%, 200%. No one knows me bar very few and there’s even less that understand me.
“I’ve never been happier here I’ve had the most amazing season here. Can we now finish strong, regroup in the summer and be even better.”
Rodgers took another swipe at Celtic’s Treble critics, with some detractors suggesting that if Celts win the Scottish Cup, it would be “the most tedious” clean sweep ever.
He continued: “I think obviously leading into this game there was a little bit of negativity around the league and no competition, but we can only concentrate on ourselves.
“These players here have been unbelievable in their mentality every day and took that into the games.
“When they had to step up, they stepped up like today. So it’s been an absolutely brilliant season for us in the league.
“It’s been relentless on four fronts.”
