Brendan Rodgers is linked with a move away from his all-conquering Celtic side this summer.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is seen during a training session at Lennoxtown on December 29, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Speaking to Sky Sports, former Celtic attacker Kris Commons has rubbished suggestions that manager Brendan Rodgers could quit the club this summer.

The 45-year-old has done a stunning job during his two-year stint in Glasgow and is well on course to lead Celtic to back-to-back domestic trebles – a feat that has never been achieved in the history of Scottish football.

Consequence of his work in Glasgow, the former Liverpool boss has been linked with a return to the Premier League, with Arsenal said to be interested in hiring him [The Irish Independent].

But Commons, who left the Hoops last summer after a goal-laden six-year stint, cannot see his former manager leaving any time soon.

Leigh Griffiths of Celtic is congratulated by manager Brendan Rodgers as he is substituted during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Rangers FC and Celtic FC at Ibrox Stadium...

“No, I think Brendan said before he’s in his dream job. He’s supported Celtic as a boy and certainly has a connection there,” he told Sky Sports.

“I think what Brendan wants to do every single year is to try and improve.

“It’s very difficult to improve on last year’s unbeaten treble. Adding another treble would be a unique achievement.”

Rodgers is on the brink of wrapping up the club’s seventh successive Premiership title and, as a boyhood Celtic fan, might be tempted to stick around for the next few years and try complete the elusive ’10 in a row’.
