McKenna would certainly be my 1st choice but i would genuinely be surprised if he would entertain us in our current state. He will have ambitions of having £100m to spend with ipswich next season.
Robbie keane would be my second choice.
Has done well where he has managed with over 66% win rates where he's been. Albeit he had some neck on him managing in I*rael.
If we end up with ange again that will be it for me. don't think ill be able to handle that.

Dont know much about mkenna. why is he in contention in the eyes of fans?
{Ed007's Note - He's one of the best young coaches probably in Europe, has great tactical knowledge, plays possession based front foot attacking football. It's a perfect opportunity for Celtic to reset the football department and a young manager to prove he can manage a "big" club, win trophies and progress us and his own career at the same time. He's turned down better paying jobs at higher level managerial round about clubs, we could give him an opportunity to run one of the biggest clubs in the world, chew up Scottish football and get a chance in Europe with mid-level expectations

For once if we go for the cheaper option it might be the best result.
The Bodo Managers contract is out in December so no need to pay a huge wedge to buy out his contract.
He has won 4 out of 5 league titles and his teams do very well in CL.
They play very good football.
He would be my first choice by a mile.
{Ed007's Note - We'd need to pay £ for his entire backroom staff and the people behind the scenes that make Bodo/Glimt so successful, their success is not all on Knutsen by a long shot.

The last Celtic Manager I recall bringing in his own staff was MON. Unless the tools are already there, I think that's normal. Are the tools already there?
If MON is there until, say, the end of the season, then I'd be looking for a Director of Football to be in place by, say, January. It would be there job to reset the football aspects of the club and appoint a manager of the same ilk, with a remit to follow the guidance. This is an attempt at continuity and longevity.
The Falkirk game will be interesting and I see MON using all 5 subs. He's got to see what he has and has until Sunday to do it. A tall order for anyone.
Personally, I'm happy to see the back of Rodgers and his horseshoe football.

I can't see Celtic going with a dof. How long have fans banged on about this.
