David Moyes reportedly wants to replace Brendan Rodgers at Scottish Premiership champions Celtic.
David Moyes has called Celtic a ‘huge, huge club’ just hours after reports claimed that he wants to kick-start his managerial career with the Scottish Premiership champions, speaking to Sky Sports (3 March, 4pm).
Celtic found themselves without a manager a week ago after Brendan Rodgers walked away from Parkhead, returning to the Premier League to take over at Leicester City.
Neil Lennon has been appointed on an interim basis until the end of the season but whether the 47-year-old will be handed the reigns full-time remains to be seen.
Moyes has been out of work since leaving West Ham United in May of last year and The Sun claims that he would love to take over at Celtic, the club where he started his playing career in 1980.
And the former Manchester United and Everton boss has now made his feelings clear about the size of the club and their bitter Old Firm rivals Rangers – and thrown his support behind the ongoing notion that the Glasgow giants would be better off joining the Premier League.
“Let me tell you if Celtic and Rangers could both join the Premier League they’d be huge, huge clubs,” Moyes told Sky Sports.
“In fact they’d surprise a lot of people in England about how big they would be as they’re massive clubs.”
While Moyes is reportedly keen to take over at Celtic, it seems that the fans do not share his enthusiasm. Many supporters made it clear on Twitter that the 55-year-old would not be welcome at Parkhead with a number of younger, perhaps more attractive managers on the market.
