Celtic coach Postecoglou cools talk of Premier League move

Celtic coach Ange Postecoglou has assured fans of his commitment at Parkhead.

The Aussie has been linked with jobs at Everton and Leeds.

Postecoglou said: “When people say 'he's going to go down the road or somewhere else with the first offer he gets' it's not how I'm wired, it's not how I think. For me, what it's about is just trying to leave a mark wherever I am. I have done that with every football club I have been at. I want to do that at this football club and that is all that consumes me. I don't think about the next step or I need to go somewhere else or I need to do this or I need to consider other things.

“You don't go through life oblivious to it [the speculation]. It is not healthy to put the blinkers up and not know what is going on because that tests your desire to keep doing what you're doing. If people are talking about my future or are interested in my future I will sit there and listen.

"It doesn't mean I am going to jump at anything that comes my way. I am really passionate about what I do and the people close to me know what is most important to me, what drives me and what keeps me sort of happy in my role...

“I am hoping that over the course of time as long as I'm here - and I am still here even though people have been getting me out the door - all that I do when I am here is just be consumed by what I do and try to make this football club the best it can be and enjoy every minute of it."
