Celtic fans react as report suggests Eddie Howe announcement is on the horizon

Celtic fans have taken to social media following the news today that Eddie Howe is currently deciding on his backroom staff ahead of a move to the Scottish side.

The Daily Mail report claimed in Wednesday’s paper edition (27/04, p84) that the former Bournemouth boss is assembling a team of coaches to join him at Celtic, with Howe set to replace Neil Lennon as manager of the club, with coach John Kennedy currently in interim charge of the Glasgow giants.

The Hoops have endured their worst season for some time after they crashed out of the UEFA Europa League group stages in bottom place and conceded their title to city rivals Rangers, denying the Hoops the chance to win the Scottish Premiership for a tenth season-in-a-row.

But this latest update on Howe has boosted the mood around the club, and supporters on social media are eager for the club to make the official announcement.

Here’s what some Celtic fans had to say on Twitter about Howe’s upcoming appointment…

At the very least nobody can accuse celtic of rushing the appointment. If he’s in the building from the 17th May then the rebuild can be well underway by the time pre season starts.
