LIAM Moore is ready to put speculation linking with him with a move away from Reading FC to one side.

The 24-year-old has been linked with a January move to Brendan Rodgers' Celtic after impressing for the Royals this season.

Former Royals boss Rodgers is keen to bolster his defence after a string of injuries and it has been reported that Moore is a prime target.

But the former Leicester City player said speculation is just "part of the job" and insisted to the Reading Chronicle that he is happy at Madejski Stadium.

He asserted: "I just try and concentrate on my job. I'm just happy playing football.

"I always have in the back of my mind those times when I wasn't getting any game time.

"That was only two years ago now, I'm lucky and thankful to be here doing what I'm doing and playing games.

"Speculation comes and so be it, it's part of the job."
