Craig Moore has exchanged text message with Ange Postecoglou and believes that he could be Celtic manager before the end of the week.

The former Rangers defender was part of Postecoglou’s backroom squad with the Australian national team and appears to have retained contact with the Yokohama Marinos boss.

After Eddie Howe ended his interest on Friday attention dramatically switched to the 55-year-old as Celtic’s unlikely Plan B.

Listening in to Moore’s appearance on Go Radio, The Sun reports the former Socceroos defender saying:

I think the only thing potentially holding this back is compensation. He’s under contract at his club and I imagine they’re working through that at this moment on time. But if he is the man then I’d be pretty confident that this will be concluded within three to five days.

I’ve had some texts back and forward with him about the scenario that hopefully will play out for Ange in a successful way. After the last three months with Celtic and the news about Eddie Howe, everyone just thought it was a given.

That has obviously fallen through for whatever reason – I’m not privy to that – but after the strong coverage in the last 24 hours it would suggest to me Ange is very close to doing a deal with Celtic.

Should Ange Postecoglou be offered the Celtic job?

Yes, we have to trust the club, they know their job

If a deal can be struck with Yokohama to secure the release of Postecoglou he will still require to get a Work Permit with a question mark over his lack of a UEFA Pro Licence Coaching qualification.

Celtic fans have been left underwhelmed by the move for a manager who spent his entire career in Australia before getting the Yokohama job.

With a massive rebuild required it was assumed that a British based manager would get the job but it looks like Celtic’s first Australian manager could be announced before the weekend.
