“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 search for a new manager at Celtic.

Mulgrew, a former defender for the club, expressed his support for Jens Berthel Askou, Craig Bellamy, and Kjetil Knutsen as viable candidates for the managerial position. He emphasized the need for Celtic to consider fresh ideas, saying, “So mine would be Berthel Askou, Craig Bellamy. I’d like to see the Bodo/Glimt manager spoken to.”

In his recent appearance on the YouTube channel ‘The Breakdown’, Mulgrew dismissed the prospects of Robbie Keane and Roberto Martinez, citing a lack of familiarity with their coaching styles. He compared the current managerial situation to the time when Brendan Rodgers was appointed, noting, “I don’t know anybody in the category of Brendan Rodgers when they got him at that time.”

Beyond managerial candidates, Mulgrew also identified potential signings for Celtic, specifically highlighting Elijah Just and Elliot Watt as players the club should pursue from Motherwell. He praised Just’s performance, stating, “Eli Just, what a player. I think he’ll probably be away in the summer, someone will probably come for him.”

Just had an impressive debut season in Scottish football, scoring seven goals and providing seven assists, making him a standout choice for Mulgrew.

Mulgrew further commended the style of play introduced by Askou at Motherwell, suggesting that his approach could benefit Celtic significantly. He acknowledged the challenges of attracting established names, remarking, “Celtic is a huge club and attracting established names may be unrealistic.”

As the search for a new manager continues, Mulgrew’s insights provide a glimpse into the expectations and aspirations surrounding Celtic’s future direction.
