Overview
- ESPN pundit Don Hutchison says Celtic will target Robbie Keane as their top choice and that the Ferencvaros coach would seek a multi‑year deal to run a long‑term project.
- Keane has league titles with Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ferencvaros and says he is focused on pursuing a Hungarian league and cup double, adding he would move only for a higher level.
- Martin O’Neill returned to steady Celtic during a turbulent year and is expected to step aside after the campaign as the club lines up candidates for a permanent appointment.
- Debate over the profile of the next coach is intensifying, with Michael Gray backing Keane’s fresh energy over an Ange Postecoglou return and Aiden McGeady urging a bid for Bodo/Glimt’s Kjetil Knutsen.
- Former players warn that repeated managerial changes and the lack of a director of football have eroded stability, raising pressure on the board to pair the hire with structural fixes.
