Aitken tells Celtic boss Rodgers to ignore Leicester

Celtic legend Roy Aitken has told Brendan Rodgers to ignore any overtures from Leicester City.

The Daily Mail says Leicester have made their move for Rodgers to replace the sacked Claude Puel.

For the Northern Irishman, there appears to be a decision to make.

"The English Premier League is a fantastic league to work in as a manager, coach or player," said Aitken. "For me, it is the greatest league in the world. It is the most competitive league and a fantastic platform to work on - but so is Celtic Football Club.

"And any time I've spoken to Brendan Rodgers, he thoroughly loves his job and he is enjoying the adoration of the fans.

"He plays football the Celtic way and has brought in seven trophies - and counting - doing that.

"Brendan has been linked with jobs for two-and-a-half years now, ever since he came to Celtic.

"But he and Celtic are a good fit and I can see that continuing for the near future."
