Brendan Rodgers has handled several exceptional players throughout his two stints at Celtic. Kieran Tierney, Moussa Dembele, and Odsonne Edouard come to mind, but the Irishman has chosen one player he would want to have coached.
In a Twitter Q&A with Celtic fans, Rodgers was asked to select one player from any period of the club that he would have wanted to have coached. Paul McStay was the player named by the double-treble-winning manager.
McStay spent his whole career at Parkhead, making over 500 appearances for the Bhoys. The now 58-year-old is a true club legend, and Rodgers heavily praised him.
The Irishman spoke on Celtic’s YouTube channel. He said: “I always say Paul McStay because of the quality and the genius he had in the game and the love he showed when he played for Celtic. So to have someone like that in your team that inspires others so I’d have to say Paul.”
Albeit they were involved in the game in completely different eras, it would have been intriguing to see Rodgers manage McStay. The current boss of the champions is one of the best personal, one-on-one coaches out there and he would have likely worked wonders with the Scotland great. Maybe in another life.
