The former Celtic boss has succeeded Claude Puel who was sacked at the start of this week following a heavy 4-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace.

The 46-year-old’s first game will be the televised match against Watford, the first team he managed during his career.

Rodgers left his coaching role at Chelsea in 2008 to take charge of the Hertfordshire club.

He guided them to safety in the Championship before leaving nine months later to become the Reading boss.

Both teams will be aiming to consolidate their mid-table positions at Vicarage Road but how big an impact could Rodgers' presence have on the game?
