Martin O'Neill has delivered his prediction amid speculation linking Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou with a move to Tottenham.
The Aussie has been heavily linked with the Premier League outfit after reported target Arne Slot pledged his future to Feyenoord.
Postecoglou has now been installed as the bookies' favourite for the position, but O'Neill reckons a move to England is not in the works.
He told Sky: "Once you start becoming successful, then of course, almost inevitably things are going to come in your direction whether you like them or not. I love the football club here, when we won the treble to begin with, you're now into proper European football.
“You think we have got the Champions League to look forward to, so we had something really to look forward to immediately and that is fantastic. And then you hope as you have a love for the football club, you hope that the club loves you back.
“I think Ange has got that. I honestly do not know what he's thinking at this minute. I'm sure he’ll park things to the side, but the way he is talking, I think he would fancy another crack at the Champions League, you know the results they had last year, the experience that he got, there's nothing like it.
“I bet you walk out here and find out that Tottenham have made the offer! But this is my view.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
