Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers insists that his concentration is solely on the Scottish champions amidst constant reports linking him to a job at Leicester City.
Despite sitting in eighth in the Premier League table, current Foxes boss Claude Puel has come under considerable pressure at the King Power Stadium. There were suggestions implying that should the Frenchman be cut loose in the East Midlands, the former Liverpool boss would be right at the top of the list to replace him.
However, Rodgers has said he has not taken much notice of the rumours. Talking ahead of Celtic’s Scottish Cup clash with Airdrie, he said: “Someone mentioned it to me yesterday.
“It is the time of the year where you get players and managers linked with clubs and whatnot. For me, my only concentration is here at Celtic.
“Leicester, as we have seen over the last few years, (had) an incredible journey that they have been on as a club and obviously the unfortunate circumstances (owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha’s death in a helicopter crash) that they had earlier this season.
“It is a fantastic club but at this moment in time my concentration is purely on Celtic and looking forward to the second part of this season.”
Rodgers has enjoyed an extremely successful stint at Parkhead since arriving in 2016. The 45-year-old has won two league titles, two Scottish cups and two League Cups.
He can be backed at 1/1 with BetVictor to be named the next permanent Leicester boss.
