Returning Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers revealed he has "unfinished business" in Scottish football.

The Northern Irish man started an incredible run of Celtic winning five trebles in seven seasons when he first arrived in Glasgow back in 2016.

Rodgers now returns to Parkhead as he replaces the departing Ange Postecoglou who has gone to manage Tottenham in the Premier League. 

Speaking ahead of a Scottish Premiership opener against Ross County, Rodgers addressed the latest title challenge. 

"I sit here with the knowledge of doing it twice, so I understand what the pitfalls of success are," said Rodgers, who won all seven trophies he competed for in Scotland first time round.

"In order to have long-term success there are certain elements you need to make sure you guard against. That's something we have spoken about over pre-season.

"For a club like Celtic it's always about winning, but winning in the best way that you possibly can.

"That is sometimes harder. When we did the treble the second time, we didn't amass the same amount of points. Our game wasn't maybe quite at the same level, but we turned up in the big games and did what we needed to do.

"That will be the idea this season again, to win three trophies, it's an incredible achievement. But it's a new season, new motivation and new desires. I am looking forward to challenging for every trophy again."

Rodgers stressed the need to impose themselves again on the title race rather than hold on to what they had.

"The mentality is, rather then defend it, we want to win it," he said. "That's key, we start everything afresh. It was a great achievement last year and years leading up to that but everyone starts with no points at the beginning of the season.

"That's the excitement for me of coming back here. I always felt I had unfinished business here when I left. But I am so happy to be here and really happy to take on that pressure and expectation that comes from managing Celtic."

Celtic have added five new signings after losing only one key player, Jota, since Rodgers took over, but the manager is keen to make sure they do not stand still.

"There are clear positions that are priorities that we would like to improve on but the team and the squad was in a really good position," the former Leicester manager said. "I was fresh in so I needed to assess that over a period of time.

"Over time we will look to improve the squad further because it's the best time to do it, whenever you have had success, because success is that moving target.

"It keeps moving and the challenges this year will be even greater, so we have to ensure we have a squad that can match that."
