As we still wait on the announcement of who will become the next Celtic manager, one ex Celtic striker says the club should move on as it seems Howe’s heart is not in being the next Hoops gaffer.

Speaking at a promotional event for the Scottish Cup, Frank McAvennie has said Howe doesn’t realise how big Celtic are and they certainly shouldn’t wait until summer for an answer from the front runner for the gaffers job, “I don’t know if I want him because his heart is not in coming up here then. I played in England a long time and people don’t realise down south how big a club Celtic are, and Rangers for that matter.

“They are huge clubs and they won’t know until they get up here and walk through the door and realise how big they are.

Should Leigh Griffiths get another year at Celtic?

YES

NO

NO

“He is a good manager and of course people will be interested in him. But I just hope Celtic have not put all their eggs in one basket and relied on Eddie Howe because there are a lot of good managers out there.

“You can’t wait until June for Eddie Howe to say no. Celtic is too big a club for that, they shouldn’t wait for anyone in that respect.  I am sure Dermot and Peter and the new chief executive coming in will be talking to different people, I am sure of it.

“Celtic is a massive club so they won’t be just talking to one guy, surely not?

With reports on the continent suggesting it is Celtic that have had a change of heart, you would certainly think that the club have held talks with different candidates as the season draws to a close. One thing is for sure, with less than 100 days to the Champions League qualifiers, the board need to get a manager in place sooner rather than later.
