Two leading Celtic Twitter accounts give managerial search updates

Two leading Celtic Twitter accounts have been sharing their information on the search for Ange Postecoglou’s successor.

Etims and Celtic Underground were early pioneers on Twitter, dating back to the days of Bishop Crosas who was effectively the Blue Tick for Celtic players joining the social media platform.

Celtic Underground has gone for a teasing approach, getting the band back together covers a few options with Brendan Rodgers surely a more realistic option that the guy he replaced or his successor.

Etims goes for a more detailed approach naming two of the three contenders with initial contact already made.

There is very, very little information coming out of Celtic with traditional media outlets trying to feed the massive demand for information. Over the last week there has been six hour blitzes around Des Buckingham and Daniel Farke with neither being realistic candidates.

With elements of the easily led board into the Enzo Maresca camp and Dermot Desmond looking to re-employ Rodgers there could be an opening for the Candidate C.

Over the years Desmond has tended to get his way with the elderly board members hardly capable of putting up a counter argument.

If Rodgers does return to Celtic there will be some very interesting behind the scenes conversations, especially with the recently appointed ‘non-executive’ Chairman.

Could be an exciting week. pic.twitter.com/XGlBdBocRf

Wee bit of gossip and rumour to share. Oh you are a bunch of sweetie wives. Just passing it on. It’s rumour and gossip. Nothing more. Nothing less. Don’t hold us to it although we know you will, especially you at the back. Con’t…

Our understanding ? is formal discussions took place in London over the past few days with potential candidates or representatives of potential candidates for the new managers role. Six on the original list. This has now been narrowed down to three. Con/t #Celtic

Second round of interviews with the three remaining interested candidates will take place next week with the club looking to have the new manager firmed up by the end of next week. Two of the names are widely known. Maresca and Rodgers. The third is not Farke. Con/t

Our understanding (Dear Gawd!) is Maresca is favoured by those in board looking for continuity. Mgr/Football scouting (City!)group in total harmony. Similar approach to game but know there is bigger risk with relative rookie managerial appt but potential for bigger reward con/t…

Second name is no surprise. DD big fan of Rodgers. Believes there is guaranteed success if he is appointed. Issues of how he left last time would need publicly resolved & acceptance he may want to tweak some of current football operations. Con/t

Trying to find name of third candidate. No idea who. All three mgrs / reps of mgrs broadly aligned with football approach. All three won’t deviate great deal from what’s in place. Possible tweaks but nothing major. Continuity of aggressive playing style key to new appt. Con/t

Difference of opinion on who is preferred option at present but we hear that is to be expected & the general consensus is the three names remaining are all quality candidates. All going to plan interviews completed this week & approach made by next weekend. Point of note. Con’t

All three candidates/reps of theirs are also in talks with other clubs so nothing guaranteed but view is club is in a very strong position with Champions League football guaranteed and talented young squad in place. Remember, It’s all rumour and gossip!
