Celtic are now three points off the top of the Scottish Premiership following their 3-1 defeat to leaders Hearts on Sunday (October 26).
Derek McInnes’s side have been tremendous so far this season and could be set to break the 40-year duopoly on the Scottish top flight.
Rodgers has now resigned as Celtic manager, ending a remarkably successful second stint with the Glaswegian giants.
The club have released a statement offering thanks to their now former boss, saying: "Celtic Football Club can confirm that football manager Brendan Rodgers has today tendered his resignation. It has been accepted by the club and Brendan will leave his role with immediate effect.
"The club appreciates Brendan's contribution to Celtic during his two very successful periods at the club.
"Brendan leaves Celtic with our thanks for the role he has played during a period of continued success for the club and we wish him further success in the future.
"The process to appoint a new permanent manager is underway and the club will update supporters further on this as soon as possible.
"We are pleased that during this interim period former Celtic manager, Martin O'Neill and former Celtic player, Shaun Maloney have agreed to take charge of Celtic first-team matters. Further details will be confirmed shortly."
