Celtic have already issued a hands-off warning over Neil Lennon’s number two.
Celtic should expect an approach from Hibernian for John Kennedy this week, according to The Scottish Sun.
Kennedy, who is assistant to the former Hibs boss Neil Lennon at Celtic, has already been linked to the Easter Road managerial vacancy.
But despite there being several other names in the frame, The Scottish Sun reports that the argument for the 36-year-old is ‘said to be strengthening’, with the Edinburgh side’s hierarchy ‘believed to be hugely impressed with his CV’.
Lennon, who left Hibs at the start of the year, has already issued a hands-off warning over Kennedy – part of the coaching team he inherited from the Brendan Rodgers regime.
But how Celtic would respond to formal interest in their former centre-back remains to be seen.
Kennedy has never before worked as a number one and may be tempted by an opportunity to do so.
Celtic fans – how should the Bhoys’ respond if Hibernian make contact over Kennedy?
