Clubs who could prompt Celtic exit for Postecoglou named as Rodgers replacement act branded fantasy

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou would only be tempted to leave Glasgow for a shot at England's top six, according to Sir Kenny Dalglish.

The Australian has been linked with taking over as Brighton manager this month, while new rumours have surfaced that he could be a candidate for the Leicester City job should former Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers be given his marching order.

Scottish football legend Dalglish thinks the Leicester move is a non-starter for Postecoglou and that only the top six clubs in England's top league could force him to think about where his future lies. He wrote in his Sunday Post column: "Why would Ange want to leave Celtic to go there (to Leicester?) Why would he leave a Champions League club for a team that may well end up fighting a relegation battle in the Premier League? I would doubt that Ange would have a club such as Leicester City on his radar.

"He has rebuilt Celtic. The fans love him, and he loves the fans. It would take something special to break up that relationship.

"If he was linked with a top-six club down south, then that may well be a different story. That kind of thing would be a potential game-changer.

"But, for now, I think he will be fully focused on Celtic and trying to retain the Premiership title."
