In the know journalist, Alan Nixon has confirmed Eddie Howe is stalling on his deal with Celtic but then claims there’s a legitimate reason for the Englishman doing so. However, he doesn’t elaborate on the reason.
Nixon also revealed Roy Keane doesn’t believe he’s going to be the next Celtic manager.
Given Eddie Howe and Roy Keane have both been heavily linked with the job above everyone else touted since February, there’s a belief among the support it will end up being one of these men.
Howe is stalling. But at least there’s a legit reason. Even if you do wonder. Keane doesn’t think he gets it. No sign of Celtic going elsewhere yet. But it’s dragging. Need director of football sorted. https://t.co/172Rp0dNVm

The media have been stuck in a loop for three weeks over Howe’s potential appointment.
The biggest take away from what we’ve seen is there just doesn’t seem to be much movement from Celtic behind the scenes and they appear content with whatever is going on.
Apart from a rogue Jose Mourinho chat which came from one source this week [Transfer Podcast], Celtic have only had eyes for Howe since the before the Easter weekend.
We can speculate about the delay but the fullness of time should reveal all.
We’re heading into May and there’s only THREE Celtic games left before this season is in the books.
Season ticket renewals are about to get underway. Celtic might be slow but they’re not daft. The board know going cap in hand to the support after this season without a new manager appointed will only result in an icy response.
Look move on he Howe is not the manager we need if you got to drag him here them move on,any manager that wanted the Celtic job would make it clear that he wanted job,but hey new manager will be in place at start of May and that manager knows this as the Celtic board do,he is under wrap as he is a name we already know…..
