Celtic Links With 40-Year-Old Manager Surfaces After His Latest Comments: Can He Replace O’Neill?

The Daily Record reports that Celtic have renewed interest in Kieran McKenna after the former Ipswich Town manager outlined the kind of project he wants next.

McKenna left Ipswich in June after leading the club back to the Premier League, completing three promotions during his four-and-a-half years at Portman Road. Rather than accepting another job, the 40-year-old chose a break from management and has spent months learning from clubs and sporting organisations before starting work as a UEFA technical observer.

That role begins with Shakhtar Donetsk against AEK Athens at Stamford Bridge, giving McKenna another chance to study the game from a new angle. Still, his latest comments suggest he has no intention of staying away from the dugout forever.
