Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd has suggested in The Scottish Sun that Steve Clarke would love to manage Celtic.
Boyd, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, believes that Celtic should appoint Clarke as Neil Lennon’s permanent successor.
Lennon stepped down from his role as the Celtic manager this week, with John Kennedy currently placed in charge of the first team on an interim basis.
Boyd believes that Celtic should make a move for Clarke, and the former Rangers striker has said that the 57-year-old would jump at the change to manage the Hoops once the European Championship ends.
Clarke is in charge of the Scotland national football team at the moment and will lead the team to the European Championship in the summer of 2021.
Boyd wrote in The Scottish Sun: “My old Kilmarnock boss Steve Clarke would be the one I’d go for and I suspect he wouldn’t be able to turn it down if Celtic were prepared to wait until after the Euros. Steve is a lifelong Celtic supporter and I think it would be too tempting for him.”
Big decision ahead
Celtic should take time to make a decision on their next managerial appointment.
There is no point in the Hoops rushing to bring someone in, as the season is virtually over for the Glasgow giants.
Celtic are unlikely to catch bitter Old Firm rivals Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership table and are not in the Europa League.
