Celtic FC opinion: Hoops to appoint David Moyes – the right man for the job?
The Daily Record has revealed that former Manchester United boss David Moyes is keen on becoming Celtic’s next manager. A highly experienced Premier League manager, Moyes has been out of work after being sacked by West Ham at the end of last season.

Manchester United did not trust him, and the fact that the board or the fans didn’t give David Moyes enough time did play a part was also a reason for his failure.
It was always going to be magnificently hard to replace a manager like Sir Alex Ferguson and that’s something that the club has yet to come to terms with. For Celtic however, David Moyes has the potential to replace Brendan Rodgers.
