Celtic would be a top-six club in England, claims Brendan Rodgers

English clubs’ wariness over the potential of Celtic makes a move south unlikely, according to boss Brendan Rodgers.

The English Football League recently ruled out the prospect of clubs outside its borders joining an extended structure as they seek eight new members to form four divisions of 20.

Following the dramatic 3-3 Champions League draw with Premier League leaders Manchester City at Parkhead on Wednesday night, Rodgers claimed the Glasgow club were “a major threat to nearly every English club playing in England”.
