Celtic's Brendan Rodgers distanced himself from replacing Arsene Wenger today amid reports that Luis Enrique was being lined up by Arsenal to succeed their veteran manager.

Wenger, whose position has long been under intense scrutiny, announced Friday he would be bringing down the curtain on his near 22 years in charge of the north London club at the end of the season.

Rodgers has been touted as a potential successor but the former Liverpool boss told BBC Scotland: "There's nothing really in it. I have always said I'm extremely happy here."
