Celtic fans gleefully troll Eddie Howe as Rafa Benitez nears Everton job

Eddie Howe appears to be on the brink of missing out on the top job at Everton – and some Celtic fans on social media are loving every minute of it.

Howe was linked with the Hoops hot-seat for several months following the resignation of Neil Lennon on February 24, and was the red-hot favourite with bookmakers to replace the Northern Irishman at Parkhead.

However, at the end of May, Howe pulled out of the protracted negotiations after being linked with the manager’s job at Everton – the club he supported as a boy.

Howe was initially installed as favourite for the Toffees gig but it now seems he’s been pipped to the post by none other than Liverpool legend Rafa Benitez, with the Daily Record reporting the Spaniard is on the brink of a return to Merseyside – only this time with the blue half.

As you can imagine, the opportunity to stick the boot into Howe hasn’t been passed up by a some gleeful Celtic fans:

He might not be moving to Goodison Park, but Howe could still end up back in the Premier League next season, with Crystal Palace still looking for a replacement for Roy Hodgson.
