GLASGOW: Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers on Saturday distanced himself from speculation he could succeed Arsene Wenger as Arsenal boss. “There’s nothing really in it. I have always said I’m extremely happy here,” Rogers told BBC Scotland. Wenger announced on Friday he will step down at the end of the season after 22 years in charge of the Gunners. Rodgers has restored his reputation in nearly two years in Scotland after a troubled end to his three-and-a-half years at Liverpool in 2015, leading Celtic to the brink of back-to-back domestic trebles in Scotland. Celtic majority shareholder Dermot Desmond said he wouldn’t stand in Rodgers’s way should he wish to return to the Premier League. Wenger finally walked under increasing pressure from the club’s fans for change.
