Shaun Maloney is in contention for a surprise return to Celtic- as a coach.

According to a report in the Daily Mail the 34-year-old is in line for a role with the Celtic Development squad.

Aberdeen and Hibs have made offers to Maloney to continue playing but the chance to move into coaching is bound to be of interest.

Tommy McIntyre has been assisted by Jim McGuinness over the last two seasons but during the summer the Irishman took up an offer to move to China.

As an example of what can be achieved Maloney would be ideal, coming through the ranks to make his debut at Ibrox as a 17-year-old prompting most fans to ask ‘Who’s the wean’ having never before featured in a first team squad.

Michael O’Halloran has been assisting McIntyre at the pre-season matches but is likely to return full time to the u17s if Maloney or another coach comes in to work with McIntyre and the Development squad.
