Andriy Shevchenko has been linked with managing Celtic- if the board calls time on Ange Postecoglou.
The excitement of free flowing football during August has been met with the dull thump of reality through September with Angeball toiling domestically and in Europe.
There are plenty of mitigating circumstances for results under Postecoglou but the bottom line is always results with October’s fixture list far from friendly.
Dermot Desmond made a rare visit to Celtic Park on Thursday night for the defeat from Bayer Leverkusen, now one of his golfing buddies is looking for a route into club managent.
In The Sun Nixon opens with:
ANDRIY SHEVCHENKO wants to make a managerial move to Britain — and has put Celtic and other clubs on alert.
Later on he adds:
The 45-year-old also speaks English and has good knowledge of the domestic game.
His availability has got him on wish lists and he could be a surprise choice at Scottish heavyweights Celtic if Ange Postecoglou does not work out.
The former Australia manager has had a tricky start at the Hoops with seven defeats in all competitions so far after his late arrival in the summer.
Postecoglou is believed to be on the standard 12 month rolling contract that all Celtic bosses have had recently with the exception of Brendan Rodgers- who quit halfway through a four year deal.
The Australian hasn’t brought in any coaching staff which would make any change in management relatively cheap for the Celtic board to carry out.
It took the Celtic board 106 days to replace Neil Lennon, with Sviatchenko out of work since stepping down as Ukrain manager in the summer he could step in at very short notice.

What a pile of guff, Juergen Klopp could not turn our fortunes round at present, the manager had no pre season, has a complete new team to bed in, has to get the fitness levels and the sports science to where it has to be and we will judge then, these top of posts don’t help the club manager or players
why him. he knows the English game not scotland. pathetic if its true. if not why print it.
