Jurgen Klopp recommended for Celtic manager’s post, to the displeasure of Kris Boyd and Steven Naismith.

Dermot Desmond may unwind a little as he hunts for Celtic’s next manager.

The fact that Celtic defeated Rangers in the League Cup semi-finals on Sunday, thanks to Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney, has only aided that process.

Several names have been floated, mentioned, and rumored as candidates for the next permanent Celtic manager position throughout that time.

However, few of you expected Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s iconic coach, to be mentioned, as Kris Boyd and Steven Naismith surely did not.

Jurgen Klopp is expected to take over as Celtic manager.

Following Celtic’s defeat of Rangers in the League Cup, Charlie Mulgrew, Boyd, and Naismith addressed what would happen next for Scotland’s champions.

Mulgrew, both kidding and serious, advised that Desmond knock on Klopp’s door and beg him to wear the iconic green and white colours.

Boyd and Naismith were surprised by what they heard on the Warm Up podcast, with the latter asking, ‘Are you playing Football Manager?’

Mulgrew told me: “I would go all out and get Jurgen Klopp through the door.”

Boyd says, “Oh my days.”

Naismith laughs. “Are you playing Football Manager here?”

Mulgrew smiles and asks, “Why can’t we?”

Naismith replied: “You can’t say that with a straight face.”

Mulgrew then chuckles, saying, “Why not?” £7 million every year. Give him that. Jurgen Klopp went through the door. “Why are you looking at your watch?”

Boyd: “It’s quarter to eleven.” Did you carry on after the semi-finals? “Or are you up early this morning?”

Mulgrew: “What is your argument against it? “I understand it’s unrealistic.”

Naismith: “Yes, that is the argument.”

Mulgrew: “Could Dermot Desmond say, ‘Do you know. We are going to bounce back after Rodgers arrives, and we are going to go.”

Naismith: “If you were Jurgen Klopp. Are you thinking, “I’ll go to Celtic if I can go to an elite top five in the world?”

Mulgrew: “There aren’t many European teams as large as Celtic. The situation is different for Rangers. He would never get near that (laughs). You’re outraged because you don’t want it to be Klopp. You are attempting to shoot it down in case it acquires any momentum.

“And Klopp goes, ‘Oh, I fancy that.'”

Obviously, this will never happen.
Celtic, or perhaps Rangers, will no longer be able to compete in the top European leagues due to financial constraints.

Primarily, the players; if you look back to when O’Neill initially took over, or before the turn of the century, Glasgow could attract a higher-caliber player.

Unless anything happens in the financial realm, Scottish football will continue to shop at the bottom of the food chain.
