Ange Postecoglou addresses Celtic future as Tottenham rumours swirl

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has brushed aside speculation that he could leave the club for Tottenham this summer.

Reports in England suggest the Celtic boss is the top contender for the job after Feyenoord boss Arne Slot turned down the chance to take over Daniel Levy's club.

The Dutchman was said to be concerned with the structure and model of the club and has opted to stay in Rotterdam for the time being.

This has led to the 58-year-old being reported as the leading candidate for the job.

However, the Parkhead boss wasn't having any of the talk of a move south of the border. Asked about consistent speculation linking him with a move to the Premier League if Tottenham talk came into his thinking by Sky Sports, he quipped: "And yet I'm still here. Listen, it doesn't.

"I think anyone that knows me knows that what is important for me is the here and now. I've never planned anything in my football career.

"My ambitions right now are to enjoy tomorrow and have a good game and try to win a cup final to have a special year. It's not every year that you get the chance to win a Treble. If anyone thinks that I am thinking anything other than that then they don't know me."

Pressed on if he thinks about his ambitions on what he has to achieve at Celtic, he responded: "No, because I know that's not how football works. You can't try to chart a certain course to be in a certain position at a certain time.

"The one thing I do know for certain is if you are not concentrating on the job in hand it's taken out of your hands. I've worked really hard in my career not to be in that position."
