PETROV: BRENDAN BACKING IS A MUST

GET BEHIND HIM Petrov insists Celtic board must back Rodgers

- BY MICHAEL GANNON

STILIYAN PETROV insists the Celtic board should bend over backwards to get behind Brendan Rodgers' long-term vision for the club.

The Hoops boss is expected to exit when his contract is up at the end of the season after frustration in the transfer market and signs of tension behind the scenes.

But Rodgers claimed he could stay with Celts - if Parkhead chiefs match his ambitions.

Petrov insisted Rodgers was bang on to make his demands and he's hoping the club's powerbrokers get on board.
