Andy Gray has slated Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou insisting Spurs should be looking at Brendan Rodgers instead of the Aussie.
Reports down south claim that Postecoglou is now a No1 target for Tottenham after Arne Slot committed his long-term future to the Eredivisie club Feyenoord.
Gray discussed the links to Postecoglou on BeIN Sports alongside Richard Keys and the pair were taken aback that Brendan Rodgers was not being discussed as a possible target.
Keys said: "I do not know why Brendan Rodgers is not being considered for that job." Gray then chipped in: “What has Postecoglou got and done that Brendan Rodgers hasn’t bettered? Bettered."
Keys then said: "Nothing. Nothing like what Brendan Rodgers has done."
Gray continued to slate Postecoglou adding: “Rodgers has got so much more experience about this league and managing big clubs and managing big players, as he did at Liverpool.
"I don’t get that one. There must be something stopping these big clubs even talking to Brendan Rodgers."
Meanwhile, Postecoglou believes his players have become conditioned to the constant demands for success.
Captain Callum McGregor lifted the cinch Premiership trophy on Saturday after a 5-0 win over Aberdeen rounded off a season in which Celtic collected 99 points and scored a post-war club-record 114 league goals.
Postecoglou has now claimed four of five domestic trophies available since arriving from Japan in the summer of 2021 and he can follow in the footsteps of Jock Stein, Martin O’Neill, Brendan Rodgers and Neil Lennon by clinching the treble with Scottish Cup victory over Inverness on Saturday.
“From the moment I arrived, I think I have said many times, coming off a trophyless season, we could not go another year without winning something,” he said.
“From the first day I arrived, irrespective of what happened at the start of the season, I made it clear to the boys that expectation is always there.
“That will never change. Whether you are winning or not winning, expectation at this football club is you have success every year.
“I think the players have become conditioned to that. They train like that every day, they behave like that. Callum is pushing them like that every day. You can’t have an off day. You can’t have an off season.”
Postecoglou is already thinking about how he can improve Celtic next season.
“You can’t stand still in this game,” he said. “It changes very quickly. It’s fine margins between having success again and not being successful.
“And more than that, this team’s going to improve. Most of the key players in this team, you can see them improving.
“All the the ones who joined last year have had better years this year than last year, and the ones who stayed, Callum and Greg Taylor and Tony Ralston, all those guys, have all come on, and had better years this year.
“That tells me there’s more improvement. There has to be.”
