Celtic manager Martin O'Neill yesterday distanced himself from reports that England want him as their new manager. A British newspaper has claimed O'Neill and Dutch legend Johan Cruyff are top of the short-list to replace Kevin Keegan.
But O'Neill reiterated his earlier claims that his number one priority is to be a success at Celtic. He insisted no one from the English FA has made contact with him.
"I think I've a pretty hard job here. It's the job I wanted to take on in the first place despite the trials and tribulations. I'm proud to be in charge of it," he said.
Meanwhile, UEFA are likely to launch an investigation today into allegations that AC Milan fielded an ineligible player against Leeds in the Champions League.
It has been claimed that Brazilian goalkeeper Nelson Dida used a forged Portuguese passport when he was registered in Italy last July.
He then played against Besiktas and Leeds before the problems were spotted by his club and Milan reportedly re-registered Dida this time as non-European. UEFA's director of communications Mike Lee said yesterday: "If there is evidence of an ineligible player we would consider it."
Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale is trying to distance himself from the controversy as United are due to travel to Milan for the return match next week in which they need a point to be sure of qualification.
