ALLY McCOIST has tipped Brendan Rodgers to quit Celtic this summer to seal a shock return to the Premier League.
The Rangers legend, 62, believes at least one club should be keeping their eyes on the manager given his previous success in England‘s top flight.

There has been a lot of talk surrounding Rodgers’ future as he approaches the final year of his contract at Parkhead.
He penned a three-year deal when he returned to Glasgow in 2021 as he replaced Ange Postecoglou who left for Tottenham.
And McCoist reckons there’s a chance it could be groundhog day this summer – but in London – with the Aussie potentially on his way out of Spurs at the end of the season.
Postecoglou, 59, will reportedly leave Tottoenham at the of the current campaign even if he leads them to Europa League glory.

Spurs are in the midst of a disastrous Premier League season and are currently sat 16th in the table with six games to go.
But they are remarkably three games away from securing Champions League football next season – should they win the trophy in Bilbao next month.
That would see Postecoglou fulfill his prophecy of ALWAYS winning silverware in his second season at a club.
However, reports state that even that won’t be enough to secure his future in North London, with Spurs chiefs said to have already made their decision to axe him.
And McCoist believes Rodgers could be in the frame to replace the Aussie again for a second time.
Discussing the latest developments regarding Postecoglou on talkSPORT’s Breakfast Show, McCoist threw the Celtic manager’s name in the ring as a potential option on the shortlist.

He said: “I tell you who might suit them – what about Brendan at Tottenham?”
Co-host and Celtic-daft Alan Brazil replied: “There you go, there’s another one. Good shout. If he thinks that’s it after doing the Treble, we’ve progressed in Europe, now it’s time to move on. Maybe”
Unconvinced McCoist then reacted: “I’m not sure you’ve progressed in Europe right enough. You think so?”
Brazil went on to point out the fact Rodgers was on the brink of history at Liverpool in 2014 and almost led the club to their first league title in 24 years.
He said: “Yeah, in the big one. The big one. I just think you could be right. Brendan could move there. He nearly won it with Liverpool didn’t he?”
“So if you’re looking at pedigree. But then would Spurs then say they took a Celtic manager and it didn’t work?”
McCoist added: “I know what you mean but Brendan has previous, doesn’t he? He’s done exceptionally well down here.”
