A FIRM owned by Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers’ has been dissolved with assets of almost £1.4million.
The “voluntary winding up” of Maltina Limited was completed on February 16.
That was a day before Rodgers, 51, faced flak from Hoops fans over a 1-1 home draw to Kilmarnock that led to Rangers taking over the Scottish Premiership’s top spot.
But away from football, he seems to have shown a shrewd business brain.
Final accounts for the company, which is thought to have handled investment income, revealed it had banked £451,730 in cash. And a directors’ loan account contained £894,864.
Last night a source said: “The liquidation process started some time ago. Rodgers has always appeared pretty savvy in his business dealings off the park.
“And a lot of money appears to have been in this firm when he decided to wind it up.
“He seems to have come out the other end well financially.”
A resolution to wind up Maltina Ltd was lodged with Companies House in October 2021, when a voluntary liquidator was also appointed.
At the time Rodgers was in charge of English Premier League side Leicester City.
His first wife Susan, 49, was a director of the company when it was set up in 2012 but she resigned two years later after their marriage fell apart.
It previously emerged they’d amassed a multi-million-pound property portfolio comprising more than 100 buy-to-let homes.
During the couple’s divorce battle in 2015, a hearing at the High Court in London heard it cost £32,000 just to have all of the pads valued.
The pair, who’d been married for 14 years, reached an undisclosed settlement.
Rodgers wed Charlotte Searle, 39, in 2017.
