Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers: Arsenal rumours are nice...

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is happy with interest from Arsenal.

But the Ulsterman insists he has no plans of quitting Celtic anytime soon.

"It's nice people think you can manage clubs of that esteem," Rodgers told the Mail on Sunday.

But he is refusing to get carried away by the lure of the Premier League, having learnt all too well from past experiences about its sacking culture.

He added: "I love the Premier League, the quality of the players, the quality of the coaches. There are great challenges. But there are arms and legs flying off managers down there.

"You can come here and my genuine love is improving people and making them better, helping the club improve and getting the chance to develop and win things and see people improve. Or do you go somewhere where you might have six games? That wouldn't make me happy. So it's catch 22."
