It seems that if ANY, and I mean ANY job comes up in the footballing world we have all too eager parts of the press ready to send our man packing.

From Manchester United and Arsenal links to Villa and Newcastle – their persistence is admirable.

However, the latest one is just a bridge or a long plane ride too far.

Some press outlets in the UK are touting Brendan Rodgers for the Spartak Moscow job after the club sacked their manager earlier today.

Spartak, who take on Celtic’s Glasgow rivals at Ibrox on Thursday are managerless and in need of new direction.

SO, obviously, Brendan Rodgers fits the bill!

It’s pretty tiresome at this point. The manager has stated why he is at Celtic and continues to do his job at the club.

With Celtic coming out of the other end of their worst spell under Rodgers it’s only natural for some people in the media to fear what comes next.

Let’s try and unsettle the club as much as possible.

So where did this ‘link’ come from? The bookIes!

Brendan Rodgers has ‘been installed’ as the SIXTH favourite to be the next manager of Spartak Moscow.

The Irishman moving top Russia is going off at 11/1, which means if you put a tenner on that happening you will lose a tenner.

Take the day off, eh.
