(Reuters) - Brendan Rodgers looks set to become Leicester City's new manager after Celtic "reluctantly" gave him permission to speak to the Premier League club on Tuesday.

The 46-year-old Northern Irishman has been linked with the position at the King Power Stadium since Leicester sacked Claude Puel on Sunday, following their 4-1 home league defeat by Crystal Palace.
