Because if that really is the shortlist then it represents one of the most underwhelming managerial searches imaginable. We are talking here about a candidate who large sections of the Celtic support would find unacceptable on sight. This is what a managerial shortlist looks like when it has been thrown together in five minutes on the back of a cigarette packet. The bigger problem, however, is that I simply do not trust this board to choose the next Celtic manager. How do people with that level of thinking justify drawing salaries at Celtic Football Club?
