The wife and stepdaughter of the Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers “barricaded themselves in a bathroom” while their luxury home in Glasgow was ransacked by thieves.

The house was raided in the early hours of Wednesday morning, days after the former Celtic manager prompted a furious reaction from fans by agreeing to leave the club before the end of the season.

His wife Charlotte and her six-year-old daughter were not hurt but were said to have been badly shaken by the incident at their the luxury home in the Bearsden area of Glasgow.

According to Sky Sports, they were asleep when the intruders broke in and were woken by their voices. The thieves are understood to have entered the main bedroom and shone torches on the terrified mother and daughter before they took refuge in a bathroom.

Police Scotland said the force received a report of a break-in at around 1.55am on Wednesday.

The items taken during the raid are believed to include most of the medals and trophies the manager won at Celtic.

One neighbour said: "It was a massive police response and to be fair they seemed to have arrived quite quickly but the gang had already fled. Charlotte was home asleep with her daughter at the time when they broke in.
