'I'm choosing to be selfish' - Postecoglou
The Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou says he wants to enjoy his side's Scottish Cup and domestic treble triumph rather than be "side-tracked" by talking about his future.
Postecoglou has been linked with the vacant job at Tottenham and has refused to say whether he will be at Celtic next season.
The 57-year-old was asked again after the 3-1 win over Inverness.
"I'm going to be a little bit selfish," he said.
"People around me have all worked hard to enjoy this moment, so that's what I'm going to do. I will enjoy it for as long as I can before people drag me away to talk about other things."
Asked why he will not dampen reports of a possible departure, the Celtic boss said: "Because I think I deserve to enjoy this moment just like everyone else. I worked really hard for this moment.
"I owe it to my friends and to my family. I get why you have to ask the question, but from my perspective, I deserve to enjoy this moment.
"There will be a time to come for those kinds of questions but for now, we've grasped a small chunk of history for ourselves and I'm not going to that by by being side tracked."
Postecoglou has now won five trophies from a possible six since arriving in Scotland in the summer of 2021, re-establishing Celtic as the dominant force in the country.
The Australian told BBC Scotland he is proud of his players after an "extraordinary season" and labelled their campaign "relentless".
Celtic fans sang Postecoglou's name at full-time and gave a huge roar when he lifted the Scottish Cup trophy, and goalkeeper Joe Hart believes it was a signal from ers to the manager.
