SOUTHAMPTON boss Alan Pardew has refused to comment on reports linking him with the vacant manager’s job at Celtic.

Pardew has been lined up to replace Tony Mowbray, who was sacked after a disappointing run of results, according to reports north of the border.

However, Pardew declined to comment on the reports.

He told the Press Association: “It has been brought to my attention that my name is in one of the papers but I have no comment to make.”
