Family of Leicester boss Rodgers victims of home invasion

The family of Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers were the victims of a home invasion this week.

Sky Sports says Rodgers' wife and step-daughter were forced to barricade themselves in a bathroom after coming face-to-face with thieves as they ransacked their Glasgow home.

With Rodgers in the midlands, wife Charlotte and her six-year-old daughter, Lola, were asleep when the intruders broke into their home in the Bearsden suburb of the city.

Shortly after 1am, the pair were woken by voices on the ground floor as two men ransacked their property.

The two intruders burst into the main bedroom, shining torches on the mother and daughter who were huddled together on the bed.

Amid screaming and shouting, mother and daughter took refuge in a bathroom while the intruders fled the property with a number of boxes believed to contain Rodgers' belongings from his office at Celtic's Lennoxtown training centre.
