Manager Brendan Rodgers has dismissed suggestions of a “conflict” between him and the Celtic board and insists he will not leave before the end of his contract.

The Northern Irishman has spoken about his frustration at not being able to more comprehensively bolster his squad for an assault on Champions League qualification as well as retain their domestic dominance.

Rodgers – whose deal expires next summer – left midway through his third season in Glasgow during his first spell at the club, but says history will not repeat itself.

“Absolutely no chance,” he said. “We’ve done that before, it didn’t go down well.

“We had the chances over the summer [of contract talks] but I said, ‘now the season starts, I only want to think of the football’.

“I don’t want to think of the contract, just think of the football and that will come later on if it does.

“I said I’d be here for three years and I’m here for three years.”

Rodgers had said after Wednesday’s disappointing draw with Kairat Almaty in Champions League qualifying that having no new additions prior to the tie was “not my decision”.

But he said during Friday’s media conference: “There’s certainly no conflict. Everyone at this club from the board to myself, we want the very, very best for Celtic.

“I’m still in the same position. I need to earn the right to be here. Of course, I want what’s the best for Celtic and I want us to be really successful in this short-to-long period.

“People will try and look to find that conflict between me and the board and me and whoever. It really isn’t the case.”
