The more I look at updates or listen to podcasts, the more I hear of potential candidates for the vacant Celtic job popping up.  From current in work managers like Paul Lambert and Davie Moyes ruling themselves out (even though Celtic never asked the question) to the rumour mill going into overdrive whenever Rafa Benitez or Eddie Howe are mentioned.

The next man refusing to be drawn in, but does have the potential to become a candidate says he can’t comment due to being in a position with the Belgian FA.

Ex Celtic star, Shaun Maloney, was speaking to BBC Scotland when he said, “It’s an impossible question for me to answer. I have to show respect to the federation who have shown massive faith in me.

“From a sporting point of view, I hope Celtic, whoever decision they make, make it quickly because these decisions have to be made.

Should Roberto Martinez replace Neil Lennon?

YES

NO

“They can definitely fight for the title again next year and the big thing they have to do is get that connection with the support again because if that’s not here, then they’re not going to be able to fight.”

Maloney certainly knows what it takes to be part of Celtic as he amassed five league titles and three league cups and a UEFA Cup Final appearance over two spells with the Glasgow giants.  Maloney’s stock is currently high at the moment as assistant to Roberto Martinez in the Belgian national set up. Martinez himself is also one of the favourites for the Parkhead hot seat and it remains to be seen if the Hoops board will make a move with the upcoming Euro’s due to start in the summer.
