- Askou has downplayed the links, saying he does not feel a need to comment and wants quiet to finish the season strongly.
- Motherwell’s rise under Askou has them two points off Celtic, with a meeting between the clubs scheduled in less than two weeks.
- He is tied to Motherwell through 2027, and local reporting suggests the club could offer improved terms this summer.
- Celtic are expected to appoint a successor to Martin O’Neill after the season, while ex-striker Ross McCormack has predicted Askou may pursue an English Premier League opportunity.
