Noble's side were the first to lose at Crusaders in Super League

Wigan Warriors boss Brian Noble has attempted to play down being linked with the Celtic Crusaders' coaching role recently vacated by John Dixon.

Noble is out of contract at the end of the year and is tipped to have ex-Wales dual-code star Iestyn Harris as his Crusaders assistant.

"There is nothing to say," said Noble ahead of Sunday's Super League play-off against Castleford.

"Nothing is done and dusted, I'm just concentrating on this game."

He added: "It's not about me, it's about the team and always will be."

Harris has described Noble's probable role with the Crusaders as "the worst kept secret in rugby league".
