Celtic’s boss Brendan Rodgers said on Sunday his side’s defence of their Scottish Premiership title remains his priority, not being linked with the vacancy at Premier League strugglers Leicester City. The 46-year-old Northern Irishman is odds-on favourite with bookmakers to be the successor to Frenchman Claude Puel, who was sacked earlier on Sunday following the Foxes’ dire 4-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday — their fifth defeat in six games. However Rodgers — whose Celtic team are eight points clear of Glasgow rivals Rangers at the top of the league — brushed off the speculation. “My job is to concentrate on the football aspect, and that is with Celtic,” Rodgers told the BBC.
