​Celtic captain Brown: Leicester boss Rodgers makes players better

Celtic captain Scott Brown only has positive things to say about former boss Brendan Rodgers.

Many Bhoys fans are still upset at the way Rodgers left Celtic in the middle of last season for Leicester City.

But Brown remembers the times the team won titles under Rodgers, and sang the praises of the Northern Irish coach.

"He's a fantastic manager" Brown told Sky Sports News.

"I think everyone knows he went so close with Liverpool. He's got Leicester up to second in the league and I don't think anyone would have thought that at the start of the season.

"They play some great football, it's entertaining to watch and that's what he brings to a club.

"He [also] brings that buzz and everybody just thrives off him. He's got a great aura about himself, he believes in what he does, and at the end of the day it's paying off."
