Australia hero Mark Schwarzer has given three reasons why he thinks Ange Posteecolgou will stay at Celtic and won't join Leeds.

The former Fulham and Chelsea goalkeeper feels his relationship with the club and the fans are things that will keep the 57-year-old at Parkhead for now.

Also, he believes it is not Postecoglou's "style" to leave mid-season.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "He'd be an exceptional fit [at Leeds] but I don't think he'll leave Celtic, if at all, at this moment in time.

"His rapport with the club and the fans is too important to him. I haven't spoken to him, I'm purely speculating, but I don't think it's his style to leave in the middle of a season.

"If he does go, I think it will be done in the right manner and at the right time because that's how he does business.

"He's achieved things wherever he's gone, first in Australia, then in Japan, and now in Scotland with Celtic.

"He delivered with Australia too, winning their first-ever Asian Cup in 2015. I really feel like, wherever he goes, he'll be a success"

Schwarzer did go on to state that Leeds could provide a great opportunity for the former Yokohama F Marinos boss, given their style of play in recent years.

But he maintained that he expects Postecoglou to stay in Glasgow.

"At Leeds United, there's a great case to put forward that there's pressure," he continued.

"Their fans are demanding and expecting a certain level of performance. We know how passionate their fans are and how important it is for them to get back to the heights that they've shown over years gone by.

"So Ange would be a great appointment and someone who would take it all in his stride, and he would be well-suited to the way they have played football over the years and to take them to another level. But I don't think this is the time for him to go."
