Eddie Howe to Celtic has felt like a rumour that’s gone on forever.
It’s only really been a month since the Englishman was linked with the top job in Glasgow and throughout, Celtic have been very quiet allowing the process to happen.
One nugget of information dropped by SunSport over the past 24 hours is Dermot Desmond has handed Eddie Howe FULL CONTROL of his backroom team and who he brings into the club to begin the rebuild.
The two men hotly tipped to join Eddie in Glasgow are his two former coaches at Bournemouth; Stephen Purches and Simon Weatherstone.
Eddie Howe is keen on having his backroom team ready to go and with him the day he is announced as Celtic boss the report claims.
We appear to be heading into a place where Eddie will be confirmed sooner rather than later.
There are tactical times to do it. Friday would be a jumping-off point if all ducks were in a row. Monday morning after the Glasgow Derby is another great opportunity, win or lose.
Then there’s announcing the manager in the middle of May on trophy day which would certainly upset a few people.
