The 24-year-old is a free agent after leaving Swindon Town and his dad has decided to invite him on the trip so he can keep his fitness up while he looks for a new club.

The diminutive midfielder was pictured at Glasgow Airport with the rest of the Celtic squad as they were ready to jet out to begin their preparations for the upcoming campaign.

After coming through the ranks at Brighton and Hove Albion, without breaking into the first-team, Rodgers moved to Oldham Athletic in 2013.

He stayed at Boundary Park for one year before moving on to Swindon, where he would play regularly for three seasons before his release this summer.
