Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers feels that links with succeeding Roy Hodgson as England boss are part and parcel of the game, but ruled himself out of the running.
Hodgson has resigned as England manager following the Three Lions' disastrous last 16 exit from Euro 2016 at the hands of Iceland and now the hunt is on for his successor.
Ex-Liverpool boss Rodgers has just taken over at Celtic, however he has already been mooted as a contender.
Rodgers admits such talk could be flattering, but he has no intention of leaving his job at Parkhead so soon after having been appointed by the Scottish champions.
"Is it flattering? It's football. There are very few professions where one minute you're up, then down, then up again – that's just how it goes", he was quoted as saying by the BBC.

"If people think I can do jobs at a high level, then that's fine.
"But I'm busy here, worrying about what I have to do here."
Rodgers is currently with the Celtic squad in Slovenia for a pre-season tour, as he aims to prepare the Bhoys for the Champions League qualifying rounds, starting next month.
The former Liverpool boss did however only sign a one-year rolling contract with Celtic, meaning the English FA would not have a large deal to buy-out if Rodgers was prepared to succeed Hodgson.
