Jamie Carragher insists Celtic fans have treated Brendan Rodgers harshly since he quit the club to take over at Leicester.
Carragher played under Rodgers at Liverpool and the former Hoops boss is being heavily linked with a move to Arsenal to replace Unai Emery.
The Spaniard was sacked last week after a dismal run of form and Rodgers even revealed he had a release clause in his contract at the King Power.
That has led to Celtic fans looking back at the way he left Parkhead in February this year.
And although Carragher doesn't believe it would be a good idea for the Northern Irishman to quit Leicester after less than a year, he reckons a tag of jumping ship quickly would be hugely unfair on the 46-year-old.
He told Sky Sports: "I think the position Brendan Rodgers is in, there's no doubt whether you're a player or a manager, you want to get right to the top.
"At the moment Leicester City are second in the table, they won the Premier League a few years ago but we'd be lying if we said they're one of the top teams in the country, they're not.
"I don't think it's right if Brendan Rodgers is even thinking about moving to Arsenal right now.
"Whether it was right or wrong, he got a lot of criticism from Celtic supporters for moving on before he finished the season.
"And it was a tough decision for him because this was a job everyone wanted.
"Managers who couldn't get the real top six jobs, Leicester was the job everyone wanted with the players they have and the infrastructure.
"He got it, took that decision and accepted he was going to take a bit of stick from Celtic fans.
"If he moved now he'd get that tag of jumping ship very quickly from places.
"He probably would deserve it if he did that right now at Leicester, though I think it was a bit harsh what happened at Celtic.
"He's got to look at the next 18 months and think he's going to do something at Leicester.
"Maybe after those 18 months if a Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City, I don't know.
"But he will, at one stage, want to go to one of those real big six clubs in this country, it's just a fact."
