These were the best Brendan Rodgers jokes as Celtic appointed the former Swansea and Liverpool manager on a 12-month rolling contract to replace Ronny Deila.
Rodgers, who has also been boss of Reading and Watford during his managerial career, has stirred excitement amongst the Celtic Park faithful by pledging to produce an entertaining brand of winning football.
Only yesterday Luis Suárez praised Rodgers for helping him to become the player he is today, which is some player indeed – he scored 59 goals in all competitions for Barcelona this season.
However, many chose to recall his penchant for David Brent-esque managerspeak, resulting in just a few references to The Office amongst these Brendan Rodgers jokes:

Just had a mental dream. Brendan Rodgers was appointed Celtic gaffer, Hibs won the Scottish Cup and the Huns got a kicking off the Hibees.
