Celtic have lost two managerial candidates this week.

David Moyes looks on during the Premier League match between Burnley FC and Brighton & Hove Albion at Turf Moor on December 8, 2018 in Burnley, United Kingdom.

Celtic fans weren’t pleased last month when David Moyes stated his interest in replacing Brendan Rodgers at Parkead.

Neil Lennon has replaced his fellow Irishman on an interim basis but it remains to be seen whether he’ll get the job long term.

A number of other potential candidates have emerged in the form of Roberto Martinez and Andre Villas-Boas, but representatives for both have dismissed the notion of them joining Celtic.

With that in mind, is the path clearing for Moyes to potentially get the job?

Martinez and Villas-Boas are much more attractive candidates for the Hoops, but if neither are interested then that obviously favours Moyes, who is keen.

One would hope that Celtic have a lengthy shortlist of possible Rodgers successors, including Lennon, but Moyes, a former Manchester United manager, must have a greater CV and experience than most of them.

Fans of the Parkhead side wouldn’t fancy Moyes but if he’s the best man available for the job then why not?
