Brendan Rodgers has resigned as Celtic manager with the Scottish giants¡¯ major shareholder accusing him of ¡°divisive, misleading and self-serving¡± behavior.

Former boss Martin O¡¯Neill, 73, and ex-player Shaun Maloney will take charge until a permanent successor is appointed, the club said Monday.

Rodgers¡¯ second spell at Celtic ended after Sunday¡¯s 3-1 Scottish Premiership defeat at Hearts left it eight points adrift of the Edinburgh side in second.
