Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has cooled talk of interest from Arsenal.

Rodgers features on a shortlist of potential replacements for the under-pressure Arsene Wenger following a sobering 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on Thursday.

"It's a fantastic club Arsenal, but they have a great manager," said Rodgers.

"The criticism Arsene takes unfortunately is now the modern game, modern football.

"It's unfortunate because he has done so much for the British game.

"He came in 20 odd years ago and revolutionised the game.

"And it's sometimes disappointing and sad for another manager to see someone of that esteem and quality go through that. But there is always going to be speculation around it."
