Brendan Rodgers has completed a stunning return to Celtic to replace Ange Postecoglou.
However, there has been a split reaction to the news of his appointment on a three-year deal.
While plenty are thrilled to see Rodgers return to Celtic Park, there remains a section of the support unimpressed with the acquisition.
That's because of lingering anger over Rodgers mid-season departure to Leicester when he was first Celtic boss.
Despite the fury over Rodgers' exit at the time, some supporters are fully on board with his return.
One commented: "All roads lead back to Paradise!!! Absolutely delighted!!
"A 3 year deal, a fantastic side he's walking Into and 30 odd million to spend.
"If we can keep the majority of those player's we'll be in a fantastic position.
"Thoroughly looking forward to the season a head."
Another supporter stated: "Well done Celtic, it is a credit to the board on getting their main man.
"It highlights how well positioned the club are in at the moment where we can attract interest from the EPL & also get a EPL name in, again.
"This appointment also shows major ambition. Really excited by this."
A third hailed the appointment, adding: "Fair play to the Celtic Board & management, lost an exceptional manager to EPL (which was always going to happen) but have done very well in obtaining another equally fantastic manager & keep the consistency with the coaching staff staying on .... big clubs make big decisions!!"
A fourth commented: "A few signings with the players we already have and we'll be unstoppable."
And another simply stated: "Welcome Home Brendan"

However, some supporters were not as excited to have Rodgers back at the helm after his actions in leaving the club back in 2019.
One replied to the Celtic news: "Lot of fickle fans wae short memories.
"Luckily enough we turn up to watch the Celts & no the manager.
"If the board have confidence in this reappointment then I’ll get on board, however it’s now over to you Brendan, don’t mess up your 2nd chance."
Another - quoting a Green Brigade banner from the time, added: "You traded mediocrity for immortality. Never a fraud, always a Celt."
Similarly a fan commented: "I want to be happy at us getting a new manager, but I can't for this man.
"I'll never forgive him for leaving in the manner that he did."
One Celtic supporter called for Rodgers to address his exit and apologise for the matter upon his return to Celtic.
They wrote: "Okay Brendan, an apology or at least an acknowledgment you left us in the s***then we can all support the team without the negativity towards you."
While another fan insisted they'd back Rodgers but never forget his controversial exit.
The comment read: "Will back him but should never be forgotten or forgiven the way he jumped ship.
"Just hope it doesnt cause too much of a divide in the fans just when the full club was pushing forward in all aspects like iv never seen before."
