"I think he turns it down. I think he goes bigger than that. I'll have a wee bet with you, I bet he goes to the Premier League before he goes to Celtic. I think the fact that Celtic haven't got it done now, they are losing out on him. He doesn't care about this league. He's going to get an offer from the Premier League and be like everybody else and just leave."
"Despite only arriving at Fir Park last summer, the Dane has turned the swashbuckling Steelmen into what many believe is the most attractive team to watch in the Premiership, scoring goals for fun in Lanarkshire. Their stunning campaign thus far has seen Motherwell establish a seven point lead over Hibs in fourth spot and move them to within just four points of Rangers in second place."
Ross McCormack, a former Scotland forward, predicts that Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou will reject any managerial offer from Celtic and instead move directly to the English Premier League. McCormack believes Askou's impressive performance at Motherwell, where he has transformed the team into an attractive, goal-scoring outfit and established them as fourth-place contenders, makes him an attractive prospect for top English clubs. With Celtic searching for a permanent manager following Martin O'Neill's departure, McCormack suggests the club has already lost the opportunity to secure Askou, who will pursue a bigger opportunity in the Premier League rather than remain in the Scottish league.
