Who Should Be The New Celtic Boss?

 Who Should Be The New Celtic Boss?

After the resignation of Neil Lennon. Glasgow Celtic are looking for a new boss. 

There are lots of candidates who are being mentioned.

I hope Celtic can appoint someone who does well in Europe, and can develop great Scottish players.

I would prefer Glasgow Celtic to go for a Scottish boss, to give a Scottish person a top job. 

There are coaches and managers with or without jobs who have been spoken of by Celtic fans. 

I will now list some of the people mentioned. Obviously some of these managers have jobs already which may rule them out of the running.  As they are probably happy in those jobs. 

Of Scottish managers that some have spoken of are Paul Lambert, Steve Clarke, Jack Ross, John Kennedy, Alex Neil, Gordon Strachan, Scott Brown, Shaun Maloney, Craig Levein. 

Derek McInnes, and Alex McLeish would also be listed if they did not have such strong Rangers connections. 

I know Paul Lambert must be happy in his present job. But I would love him to get the Celtic job. 

Lambert has a super record as player in playing for Glasgow Celtic,  St Mirren, Motherwell, B Dortmund and Scotland. He has worked under great coaches like Craig Brown, Martin O'Neill, Ottmar Hitzfeld, Alex Smith, Tommy McLean, and Berti Vogts.

The record of Paul Lambert as a manager is mixed, but there has been some great successes. He is a very experienced boss, at different levels of football.  I am sure he is happy in his present job. But I would love him to coach Celtic FC. 

I know there are lots of non Scottish people who have been linked with the job. But I just feel that they might not understand Scottish football. It may take them a year to learn the language, culture, and style of football. They may have no experience of how to work at a Scottish club. And who ever gets the job will probably need to hit the ground running. 

Northern Irish managers have a very good record in Scotland. But I would love a Scottish manager to get the Celtic job. It might help develop another good Scottish manager.
