Glasgow – The green half of Glasgow has plenty to celebrate. Brendan Rodgers has committed his long-term future to Celtic with a fresh contract through 2028, Marco Tilio is back and ready to shine, and the club is gearing up for an ambitious summer aimed at making a mark in Europe. After a title-winning season, the Hoops are wasting no time setting the tone for what’s next.
Rodgers Signs On: The Project Continues
After guiding Celtic to another league title and reestablishing a dominant domestic presence, Brendan Rodgers has silenced any doubt by signing a new deal that keeps him at the club until 2028.
“I’ve always said Celtic is more than a club — it’s a way of life,” Rodgers shared. “This is the start of something special, and I’m here for the long haul.”
For supporters, this is more than just a contract — it’s a vote of confidence in a long-term vision rooted in stability, attacking football, and European ambition.
Idah, the Fan Favourite, Ready for the Next Step
Signed permanently in 2024, Adam Idah has already cemented himself as a key figure in Rodgers’ side. His 18 goals last season were crucial to the title push, and his passion for the badge has struck a chord with the support.
Heading into 2025/26, Idah is expected to be Celtic’s frontline leader in both domestic and European competitions.
“He’s the kind of player who thrives at Celtic,” said Rodgers. “He understands the responsibility, and he wants to be the difference in big moments.”
Marco Tilio Returns — And Looks Reborn
After a frustrating, injury-disrupted start to life in Scotland, Marco Tilio is back from a loan spell in Australia — and he’s making waves. The Aussie winger dazzled with 7 goals and 5 assists in just 11 appearances for Melbourne City and returns to Glasgow full of confidence and purpose.
“Marco’s been flying — we’re excited about what he brings this season,” a first-team source revealed. “His hunger is through the roof.”
With Jota out long-term, Tilio could be Celtic’s creative spark on the flank — and fans are already buzzing at the prospect of his full breakthrough.
Summer Window: Eyes on Europe
Sources close to the club say Celtic will make two key signings before pre-season begins: an energetic box-to-box midfielder and a fast, left-sided winger. Talks are already underway, and there’s a clear aim — to compete, not just appear, in the Champions League.
“We’ve got the core. Now it’s about adding the quality to match our ambition,” said Rodgers.
Mark Lawwell is expected to lead the charge, with the budget reportedly backed by the board.
Supporters React: “This Is the Celtic We Want”
Rodgers’ extension, the reintegration of Tilio, and a proactive transfer strategy have sparked excitement across social media and supporters’ groups. Celtic fans know what they want — and this feels like it.
“Rodgers till 2028 — that’s proper planning,” one fan posted.
“Tilio coming back strong, Idah firing, and big signings on the way? Let’s go!”
The New Season Beckons
Celtic will begin pre-season with clarity at the top, goals up front, and fresh energy on the wings. With Rodgers committed, the squad hungry, and the fans behind them, the stage is set for a bold new chapter at Paradise.
This isn’t just another season — it’s a signal: Celtic are ready to rise again.
