“Robbie Keane wouldn’t be in mine, and not because I’ve got anything bad to say about him, just because I don’t know enough about him,” stated Charlie Mulgrew, reflecting on the current discussions surrounding potential managerial candidates for Celtic.
Mulgrew, a former defender for the club, has voiced his support for Jens Berthel Askou, Craig Bellamy, and Kjetil Knutsen as strong contenders for the managerial position. He emphasized, “So mine would be Berthel Askou, Craig Bellamy. I’d like to see the Bodo/Glimt manager spoken to.” This endorsement comes as Celtic navigates a pivotal moment in their managerial search.
In his comments on the YouTube channel ‘The Breakdown’, Mulgrew also addressed the challenges of attracting established names to the club, noting, “Celtic is a huge club and attracting established names may be unrealistic.” He compared the current situation to the time when Brendan Rodgers was appointed, stating, “I don’t know anybody in the category of Brendan Rodgers when they got him at that time.”
Additionally, Mulgrew highlighted potential player signings, identifying Elijah Just and Elliot Watt as talents Celtic should pursue. He praised Just’s impressive debut season in Scottish football, where he scored seven goals and provided seven assists, saying, “Eli Just, what a player. I think he’ll probably be away in the summer, someone will probably come for him.”
As the club continues to search for a new manager and potential signings, Mulgrew’s insights reflect a community eager for progress and success. The discussions surrounding these candidates and players will undoubtedly shape the future of Celtic as they aim to return to their former glory.
