    O’Neill has apparently recommended him for the job. 4/7 favourite and I feel this one has legs. He has been a bit off with the fans after recent games, not really come over to the north stand and he might feel that this is a step forward. Although the football isn’t a very high standard in Scotland, there is no doubt that Celtic are a massive club and could turn McKenna’s head

    I was listening to talksport earlier and KM name came up there.
    Not sure who it was that mentioned him.

    He’d be a good appointment for Celtic. I suspect they’d probably go for Ange (or somebody more readily available), as McKenna’s release clause might be too much for a fairly austere Celtic board.

    McKenna’s end goal is a top Premier League job. He’s had several opportunities to leave us for a more established Premier League side, so I’d like to think he’d see things through here and try to get us back up. If I was him, I’d possibly be regretting not taking the Brighton job when it was there for him. Celtic are in a bit of a mess and they’re not playing in a European tournament this season. For McKenna, it’s possibly a more appealing route to a job like Man United if you can prove you can manage and succeed at a bigger club like Celtic.

    Ultimately, if he’s confident he can get us up this season - then he’s probably better off staying. Despite what some morons on social media say, he’s got credit in the bank here and he’s got a team that - if and when it gels - should be capable of immediate promotion in a pretty open Championship season. Even if we don’t go up this season, I imagine he’ll still have Premier League coaching opportunities in the summer. He’s a big name, young British coach with a strong reputation in the game.
