GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) — Brendan Rodgers resigned as the Celtic manager on Monday and former boss Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney were put in temporary charge.

Rodgers’ second spell at Celtic ended a day after Celtic lost at Hearts 3-1 and was second in the Scottish Premiership but eight points behind Hearts.

“Celtic Football Club can confirm that football manager Brendan Rodgers has today tendered his resignation,” a club statement said. “It has been accepted by the club and Brendan will leave his role with immediate effect.

“The club appreciates Brendan’s contribution to Celtic during his two very successful periods at the club.

“We are pleased that … former Celtic manager Martin O’Neill and former Celtic player Shaun Maloney have agreed to take charge of Celtic first-team matters.”
