Ange Postecoglou has responded to speculation over Tottenham by stating: 'We've done this dance a few times this year'.
The Celtic boss has been making the headlines in the past few days over the vacant post at the English Premier League side with Daniel Levy a fan. Reports earlier today suggested a deal could be done as early as next week with the Scottish champions 'resigned to losing' their gaffer to the North London outfit.
However, the Parkhead gaffer admits all the chat outside 'doesn't register' and his only focus is on Celtic's Treble bid and ending the season in truly special fashion. The League Cup and Scottish Premiership are in the bag with Inverness standing between the Hoops and the final piece of the jigsaw in the shape of the Scottish Cup trophy.

Speaking to the media, he said: "Somebody else was favourite last week, wasn't he?
"It doesn't register. I get all the interest and why people love to speculate on these things. We've worked really, really hard to get ourselves into this position and for me to let my mind wonder about anything else than getting our team prepared for a big day on Saturday is just not who I am.
"You are making it sound like this is the first time it has happend to me. We've done this dance a few times this year. The players are well aware where my thoughts lie.
"I woke up this morning thinking about the one thing, the same thing I have been thinking about for the last five to seven days. I really want to make sure we play well in this Cup final and make it a truly special season.
"I know this football club has had a lot of success recently including trebles but in the history of time not too many can claim to that. Not just myself for this football club but some of these players it might be the only one they get. We need to really focus on that."
On the latest injury news surrounding his squad he added: “Kyogo is progressing. He hasn’t trained yet. The plan is to get him out there tomorrow [Friday] and see how he goes. He is doing some individual stuff this afternoon.
“He always is, but he is still pretty bullish about playing so we will just see how he goes.
“([Alistair] Johnston is fine, he has trained all week and [Sead] Haksabanovic is back in so he is available as well. The only real absence is Aaron Mooy.
