David Moyes has admitted his interest in the Celtic job.

Everton manager David Moyes looks on during the FA Cup sponsored by E.ON Final match between Chelsea and Everton at Wembley Stadium on May 30, 2009 in London, England.

Celtic fans on Twitter have made their opinion on David Moyes potentially being their next manager very, very clear.

The veteran Scottish boss confirmed his interest in the job on Tuesday [BBC Radio 5 Live].

Neil Lennon is at Celtic in an interim role following Brendan Rodgers’s shock departure in February, but it remains to be seen if the Hoops re-sign him on a long-term basis.

Moyes, who has managed Everton, Manchester United and West Ham, has a wealth of experience that he could bring to the role at Parkhead.

Problem is, he hasn’t enjoyed a whole lot of success in his post-Everton career.

The Red Devils, West Ham and Real Sociedad have sacked him, and he resigned from his position at Sunderland in 2017.

The 55-year-old isn’t the commodity that he once was in football and Celtic fans don’t want him anywhere near Glasgow, going by their Twitter reaction to his comments.

Lennon’s fate could hinge on whether he delivers a domestic treble. The hard work was done by Rodgers in regards to the League Cup, which he won, and the Premiership after leaving Celtic with a seven-point lead over Rangers.

But there’s a bit of work for Lennon to do in the Scottish Cup, with Aberdeen standing between them and a final at Hampden in May. If he wins that competition, and of course an eighth successive league crown, then the powers-that-be at Paradise would be harsh to dispose of him.
