Ex-Liverpool and Swansea City manager Rodgers replaced Ronny Deila last summer on a 12-month rolling deal worth a club record £2.25 million-a-year - with a staggering 13,000 fans inside Parkhead for his unveiling.

Since then the Northern Irishman has guided the Hoops to an unbeaten 31-game run to the title, won the Betfred Cup while there's also a Scottish Cup semi-final to come against Rangers in a fortnight as they chase a first domestic clean sweep for 16 years.

Rodgers also took the Celts into the Champions League group stages.

SunSport Online understands Rodgers - who this week spoke of his huge contentment with the club on a personal and professional level - has agreed to commit to the Hoops for the immediate future.

Hush hush talks have been ongoing for several weeks and now chief executive Peter Lawwell is set to announce a successful conclusion to negotiations.

It's also certain that Rodgers has been guaranteed a massive transfer budget in order to help take Celtic to another level in Europe.

Before SunSport revealed the news on Rodgers, Celtic's announcement had fans speculating as to what could be revealed - with some hilarious suggestions - at today's press conference.
