Celtic fans on Ange Postecoglou, Martin O'Neill & Brendan Rodgers

Celtic fans could be forgiven if their minds were scrambled after an astonishing few hours in their club's storied history.

Out of nowhere, their celebrated manager resigned. Another feted former boss was parachuted in to replace him on an interim basis. And the club's major shareholder, Dermot Desmond, broke his well-established silence to leave Brendan Rodgers without a name.

And, all the while, somewhere well away from Glasgow, another cherished Celtic coach of more recent years gone by remains unemployed.

So who are the fans backing? Rodgers or the board? What do they think of Martin O'Neill coming in to take temporary charge?

And is Ange Postecoglou the man they all want to save the day?

Michael: Over the last few months, Brendan seemed unable to change games. The team style was predictable and slow, he seemed to have no plan B. He also seemed to have well-rehearsed answers when he was questioned about results, answers that criticised no-one, not even himself. Quite the politician.

Marian: Rodgers has done it again. He should have stayed and proved he could turn it around. He's caused a lot of bad feeling.

Jimmy: I think Rodgers has been working his ticket out since late April. The team selection every game has left many fans bewildered.

Graham: Not a fan of Desmond and the statement isn't a great look. However, Rodgers repeatedly tried to divert attention from his inability to change things on the pitch by publicly undermining the squad and blaming the board. He did it again on Sunday. I'm sure he was told to resign or be sacked.

Ray: Should not have been brought back in the first place. It was always going to end badly.

Rob: The writing was on the wall ever since Rodgers made his comments about the board and the team. He clearly didn't want to put his hands up for his mistakes this season and it has cost him dearly. Let's just hope the season can be salvaged.

David: He lost the dressing room. His comment about the cars was disgraceful and the players had given up on him. Time was up.

Andy: Same as the third season last time around, he's jumped ship when things aren't going his way. Yes, the lack of transfer activity didn't help, but pointing the finger at the board didn't either and helped to create a toxic atmosphere within the club. The squad should have been good enough to beat Dundee and Almaty.

Jack: It's like being a child with your parents arguing and you're not exactly sure who's at fault. Not yet anyway.

Tommy: I think people need to take a step back before making some of the judgements we are seeing here. Brendan is a top guy and a top manager and there are all manner of factors that could have influenced this decision.

Brendan: Sad day all round. That statement from Desmond is a desperate attempt from the board to control the narrative. Rodgers not blameless but had his hands tied by the penny pinching board.

George: This was always going to happen. As soon as Rodgers realised the lack of investment and ambition of the club, he was going to leave in 2026. And as soon as the board felt this, they didn't back him in the window knowing he is leaving at the end of the season.

Spencer: The relationship between manager and board clearly in pieces. But Desmond cannot be serious to suggest that the shambolic summer transfer window was down to Rodgers alone. It's not credible. Toxic self-preservation on both sides.

Paul: Desmond's words seem incredibly harsh. It feels like a character assassination of Brendan Rodgers. A man who has delivered repeated success to the club. It is an attempted deflection technique from the behaviour of the board.

Sandra: Not surprised at all. You could sense it coming over the past few weeks. The board are entirely to blame. A lack of ambition, lack of planning and now a lack of a top-class manager. I for one was backing Brendan.

Dave: Celtic want champagne football at lemonade prices.

Peter: Brendan has done the right thing by walking away. Now its Desmond's turn to leave our club. This Celtic board are like Smaug from the Hobbit hoarding gold. Brendan has walked away from the club for the same reason as he did the first time. The fans will not have the same anger as the last time I suspect.

Jamie: Martin O'Neill as an interim is something I can get behind, as long as the club makes a progressive appointment to replace Rodgers permanently. No more going back to the same wells - not even Ange.

Paul: O'Neill too old - out-of-touch old pals act. Should be Ange back to get them going forward instead of sideways backwards, etc.

Martin: Hearing a lot of chat that Ange Postecoglou is the favourite. I think going back for Rodgers was a mistake. Would going back for Ange also be a mistake?

Michael: I'm an Aussie Celtic (and Spurs) supporter. Didn't want Ange to leave - knew what they would do to him down there. Yes, Ange back, but only if he has Spurs and Forest out of his system. Maybe Martin until January, then do a well planned swap over?

Gerry: Get Ange back!!!

Linda: I loved what Ange did but don't want to get him back. We need to move forward.

Fergus: Is it time for Ange?

Keith: Ange is available and surely not likely to get another job in England any time soon.
