According to Anthony Joseph Celtic are reported to have held constructive talks with Robbie Keane over becoming the next manager.
The Sky Sports News reporter has been a fairly accurate source of Celtic news over the years.
It is almost five months since Wilfried Nancy was sacked but there is still very little direction over who will be next season’s manager.
The SPFL season starts on August 1/2 with a Champions League Play Off scheduled for August 19 and 26.
That timeline is coming closer into view with most fans expecting a massive overhaul of the squad.
Twelve players going out with the expectation of six or seven first team starters arriving seems a fairly modest expectation.
It seems that a position has to be found for Martin O’Neill but there is little clarity on that role. It could be manager, mentor or even a boardroom place.
Sky Sports News reports:
O’Neill and Keane worked together as manager and captain for the Ireland side a decade ago.
How that relationship is in 2026 is anyone’s guess.
O’Neill has never held any position other than manager since retiring from playing.
He has a unique skill set but so far that has never involved being a Director of Football or any background role.
Many would suggest that needing some sort of mentor should disqualify a candidate from taking charge of Celtic.
It is a big job that requires a big character, ideally someone with experience of a similar role.
Keane has never managed in the UK.
All of his management experience is from Israel and Hungary. His Celtic experience consists of four months under Tony Mowbray and Neil Lennon.
The Bellamy option would push any appointment into next week.
On Saturday evening Wales play a friendly away to Romania. If there is no announcement this week it could be that the Bellamy option is more credible.
