Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is being linked with the vacant managerial post at Leicester City.
The Foxes sacked Claude Puel yesterday following a string of poor results, and bookmakers have installed the Hoops boss as the favourite to take over the English Premier League side.
Fans on Twitter are confident that Rodgers will stay, at least until the end of the season, as Celtic close in on a historic treble treble:
100% he will stay. At least until he hopefully succeeds with the treble treble. But I wouldn’t blame him if he leaves after that, he will have a blank cheque book in the EPL

The English fans and Media don’t understand that or how important ten in a row is up here

Could Celtic not put a big price on him if that means a new contract say 20 million .

10iar would put him behind stein and he will never be eclipsed in my opinion. I believe with everything that’s been put in place for him he will see his contact out ??

At rate teams in big leagues change managers, one of those jobs comes round every 1-2 seasons! so staying won’t see his chances of a “Big Job” pass by.
I think Rodgers will stay at Celtic to try n go down as the manager who secured 10IAR????— Dom Schiavone (@Shiv1888) 24 February 2019
Not a chance him leaving, not even with the green tinted specs i say that. Whats 2 more years to him with his age and time on hands. If he gets celtic 10 in a row he leaves the club he loves a legend even more than he already is.

After the 4-1 win over Motherwell, Rodgers was asked about the Leicester job. The Northern Irishman said he was only focused on his current position at Celtic:
“My job is to concentrate on the football aspect, and that is with Celtic. I’ve been stood here for two and a half years and I’ve been asked similar questions, my message is always very, very clear, I’m very concentrated on the game.”
Reports suggest that the Foxes may offer £6m in compensation to hire the former Liverpool and Swansea manager. However, it appears that they don’t believe he will be prepared to leave midseason.
The English club may, in fact, appoint an interim boss with former Celtic boss Neil Lennon in the frame to take over at the King Power Stadium.
