Dalglish: Why would Ange leave Celtic for a relegation battle?

Kenny Dalglish believes Ange Postecoglou will be in no rush to swap his Celtic "adventure" for a relegation battle in the English Premier League.

The highly regarded Hoops boss has been linked with vacancies at Leeds, Everton and Crystal Palace recently as sides in the danger zone down south have opted to change their manager mid-season.

Postecoglou, who took over at Celtic in 2021, has persistently played down the talk of an imminent departure, and Dalglish - the club's former striker and director of football - feels competing for honours in Glasgow will be more appealing to the Australian than fire-fighting in England.

"There's no background to it," Dalglish said. "He's done brilliantly at Celtic and it's attracted people from down south to say 'come down here'. But are you trying to say Celtic's not as big an adventure as some of the clubs that were allegedly interested in him?

"Why would he go down to the Premier League and get relegated or to a team threatened by relegation? He'd rather be at Celtic playing to win trophies."

Although he feels Postecoglou will be content at Celtic, Dalglish believes any English clubs looking for a new boss would be "stupid" not to take note of his work at Parkhead, where he has won three domestic trophies from a possible four since taking the reins.

"When you're doing well there's always somebody else interested, and so they should be," he said.

"What he's done for Celtic has been brilliant. If we know what he's done, so do all the clubs in England. Whether they're attracted to him or not is another thing, but surely they will appreciate what he's done. But even if he was asked, I don't know if he'd go."

Celtic took just two points from six games in a Champions League group that included
