Croatia insist Celtic, Portsmouth target Bilic not available

Croatia bosses insist Slaven Bilic will not be moving into club management.

The former West Ham and Everton defender has been linked with the jobs at Celtic and Portsmouth.

"Slaven is in the base camp preparing for our World Cup qualifier against Ukraine on Saturday and he is totally focused on that," federation spokesman Davor Gavran said in the Daily Record.

"He has been connected with a number of top jobs in the past, but his intention is to stay with the national team to reach the World Cup finals.

"He won't quit until the end of the qualifying campaign and we hope he'll still be here for the finals and beyond."
