Stephen Robinson has shot down speculation linking him with the vacant manager's post at Bournemouth.

Motherwell boss Robinson has emerged as a potential candidate to succeed Eddie Howe at the English Championship club.

Bournemouth were relegated from the Premier League on the final day of the season and are eager to appoint their new man ahead of the new season on September 12.

Robinson - who was interviewed for the Northern Ireland job during the summer - told BBC Sportsound after Motherwell's opening day 1-0 defeat at Ross County last night, Robinson said: "I think I've been linked with every job in Scotland and England.

"No, I'm fully concentrated on Motherwell. There's no truth in those rumours.

"I think it's credit to the players. If you're winning football matches then you get linked with jobs - some true, some not.

"I think you've got to just keep doing it and concentrating on the job at hand.

"I've said it continually, football bites you in the bum if you don't do the job right in front of you."
