It's the type of blog Celtic fans would happily see in the bin, however, the interest from Tottenham is very real. And, perhaps, amid the worry there is a sense of pride as their leader Ange Postecoglou is being eyed by one of the English Premier League's traditional top six.
That moniker has been put to the test in recent seasons and their dreary campaign just finished in an eight-placed finish. The appeal in Ange is there for all Parkhead punters to see, of course, but they remain hopeful the Greek-Australian will remain in Glasgow's east end even if Daniel Levy aims to impress during planned talks with the 57-year-old.
Tottenham don't have their problems to seek with Harry Kane entering the final 12 months of his deal but a lack of European football may be viewed as a help rather than a hindrance for the next boss aiming to restore Spurs to recent glories.
It's a fast-moving story and comes amid Celtic's Scottish Cup Final with Inverness which fans are hoping isn't Ange's last game in charge.
