However, Kieran McKenna, the manager of Ipswich Town, is also being mentioned in relation to the Celtic management position.

All of the guys connected to the Celtic job, from Nancy at Columbus Crew to Craig Bellamy, the manager of Wales, have responded to the rumors in the same way—by being true to their cause.

Although it’s impossible to predict how someone will behave once Celtic formally knocks on that door, would the Scottish champions be willing to pay to bring McKenna in as they assemble their shortlist?

Would Celtic compensate Ipswich Town for Kieran McKenna’s transfer?

It has been proposed that Celtic would have to compensate Ipswich, who were demoted from the Premier League the previous season, “£5 million” if they wanted to hire McKenna.

Journalist Roger Hannah said it’s “possible” Celtic do put their money where their mouth is when it comes to the Northern Irishman’s services after the host of Clyde 1 Superscoreboard brought up the subject.

Gordon Duncan: “I’m not going to say, ‘It’s not going to be Kieran McKenna,’ because I still see his name.” When he rocks up and holds his scarf above his head, I look foolish.

According to all reports, Kieran McKenna costs £5 million. By all reports, Kieran McKenna, who is presently playing in the Championship, makes a lot more money than Brendan Rodgers did at Celtic. Additionally, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers was renowned for earning high salaries.

“Is acquiring Kieran McKenna even financially feasible?”

Hannah: “Hey, it’s feasible.” Whether the Celtic board is willing to spend that much money on Kieran McKenna when there may be another option available at a far lower price.

“But, at that point, you are minimizing the financial risk you are taking.”

Everything points in the direction of Wilfried Nancy.

Naturally, things can change rapidly, and Celtic recently met with possible targets in London.

However, from Hannah’s point of view, Nancy is the one in control while Celtic looks for a new manager.

“It’s all pointing at Wilfried Nancy right now,” Hannah said. However, I’m positive I mentioned it a month ago when Kevin Muscat and Steven Gerrard were leaving for the Rangers.

“No, we don’t know if the conversations with him (Nancy) took place in London.”
