Moyes declares interest

David Moyes has told BBC Radio 5 Live (via The Herald) he would ‘always be interested’ in becoming Celtic manager.

The Scot has been out of work since leaving West Ham United after keeping them in the Premier League.

Neil Lennon is in temporary charge of the Bhoys of course and is tasked with delivering the Treble Treble, but the board will need to assess their options at the end of the season.

Marco Rose, Rafa Benitez and Roberto Martinez have all been linked.

Lustig’s Rangers return

Mikael Lustig should return in time to face Rangers in the Old Firm Derby this weekend (The Daily Record).

The full-back picked up a thigh injury whilst on international duty with Sweden, and there were fears he might have missed the clash.

Apparently though, Lustig has responded very well to treatment. When asked whether he’d be fit to face Rangers he said: “I think so. I will train on Thursday and then we will see.”

Burke urged to sign

Oliver Burke has been urged to join Celtic permaently by BBC pundit Don Hutchison.

Burke is only on loan at Parkhead at the moment, and the Hoops will need to negotiate with West Bromwich Albion this summer if they want him as their own after they didn’t insert an option to buy.

Hutchison told BBC Radio 5 Live (quoted by The Birmingham Mail): “If I was giving Ollie Burke advice, I’d say stay at Celtic as long as you can as that is the place for you to learn your trade and get yourself to a high level.”

Burke made a bright start at Parkhead, scoring four goals in 13 appearances so far.
