Alan Stubbs: Brendan Rodgers will regret leaving Celtic, like I regret leaving Hibs

Ex-Hibs boss and former Celtic defender Alan Stubbs believes Brendan Rodgers will also regret his decision to head south.

Stubbs, 45, quit Hibs in 2016, just 10 days after ending the club’s 114-year wait to win the Scottish Cup.

“I think that, over time, Brendan will regret leaving when he did,” said Stubbs, who will return to Easter Road tonight as a pundit for Premier Sports. “It’s probably the same with my situation at Hibs; as time goes on you do regret making certain decisions.”
