Former Leeds United boss Steve Evans sees the Whites as 'one of the biggest clubs in British football' - but conceded that his dream job would take him north of the border.
Evans spent the majority of the 2015-16 season in charge at Elland Road, steering the club to a 13th place finish during a particularly chaotic campaign under Massimo Cellino's ownership.
At the end of that season he would go on to be the sixth manager sacked by Cellino in two years, with Garry Monk the next man up in the Elland Road dugout.
Talking to The Herald, Evans has reflected on the magnitude of the job at Leeds and one of the few teams he sees as a bigger club.
"I was at Leeds and everyone at the time, and still today, would recognise that they are probably one of the four or five biggest clubs in British football," he said.
"I remember someone asked me, in terms of UK football, what would be considered a bigger job.
"I didn't say Liverpool, Manchester United or Manchester City. I said Glasgow Celtic. It would be a dream job."
Evans lasted 38 games under Cellino at Elland Road which was more than five other Leeds bosses at that time and he also revealed that he was headhunted for the role by the Italian.
"I never applied for the Leeds job when it came up, nor did I apply for the Rotherham job or Gillingham," he continued before admitting that the Celtic job be beyond him.
"I think when the Celtic job came up, if you're Peter Lawwell, you'd have the key list of things to do and want to find someone who knows the club, knows how they work and after five or six check points, they'd only have two or three names on the list. And I certainly wouldn't be one of them.
"I've always thought, with football jobs, if you're applying then perhaps you're not going to be the person who gets the job."
Evans is currently in charge Gillingham, who currently sit 11th in the League One table and are waiting to see how the season is concluded.
