The news of Eddie Howe’s talks with Celtic certainly has the online community of Hoops fans buzzing.
If we can get the former Bournemouth in the door for next season it will be a major win for the board and Dermot Desmond. But the men around him will be as important to the success of the club going forward.
Reports today of Kennedy and Strachan having a role in a Howe setup aren’t exactly going down well.
There’s one potential intriguing addition to the scouting team should Eddie get the job.
Former Celtic youth player Mark Burchill has been tipped to come in with Howe and become a talent spotter for the new regime according to SunSport.
This move makes more sense after you know Mark has been working at Bournemouth in the same kind of role.
Should Burchill get the nod to return to Celtic, the call will come 20 years after he left the club as a player back in 2001.
Burchill was a promising striker for the Hoops once upon a time and scored in the famous 5-1 game against our Glasgow rivals.
However, given the names in front of him towards the end of his Celtic career; Larsson, Sutton etc, it was always going to be a tough ask to get in among that lot
