Celtic parted ways with Neil Lennon earlier this season and it will be interesting to see who they appoint as their permanent manager at the end of this season.
The Scottish giants have been linked with several managers in recent weeks and Steve Clarke is thought to be on their radar as well.
The 57-year-old has done an excellent job with the Scotland national team and 26-year-old Aston Villa Midfielder John McGinn has claimed but the SFA should try and hold onto Clarke for as long as possible because he’s a brilliant manager.
“First and foremost, I’m not surprised he’s been connected and linked with the job,” he told the Go Radio Football Show.
“He’s a brilliant manager and says it how it is. He’s obviously been with the top clubs across England and up here.
“He did a brilliant job with Kilmarnock and as a team, it was probably slow initially as to how we had set up under him, but the more and more we got used to how it worked and the style of play it certainly has benefitted us going forward.
“The success is really a platform and he is as hungry as us players to go and carry that on, so it’s nice to hear that there is going to be a bit of continuity (for the Euros) if someone is going to nab him but hopefully Ian Maxwell and the SFA can keep him for a while yet.”
Celtic have been linked with the likes of Eddie Howe as well.
The Hoops are in need of a rebuild and appointing a talented young manager like Howe would be a superb move for them. The former Bournemouth manager did well to rebuild the Cherries into a Premier League side a few years ago and he could do a similar job with Celtic now.
As for Steve Clarke, the Scotland manager has a lot of experience under his belt and he could also prove to be a quality appointment. Celtic are in a bit of a crisis right now and an experienced manager like Clarke could stabilise the atmosphere around the club instantly.
