Could Moyes Return to Celtic?
The prospect of David Moyes returning to Celtic, where his managerial journey began, is on the horizon. With his contract at Everton set to expire this summer and changes brewing at the club, Moyes could be a prime candidate to succeed Martin O'Neill next season.
As Celtic contemplates its future, Rangers are taking a different approach. Manager Derek McInnes has indicated that unless pressing issues arise, the club won't be making any moves in the January transfer window.
Celtic boss O'Neill has noted that Rangers not competing in Europe this season offers them a significant edge in the domestic title race. It's a tactical advantage that could play a crucial role as the season unfolds.
On the injury front, O'Neill has confirmed that defender Cameron Carter-Vickers is likely to sit out Thursday's Europa League clash against Benfica, which could impact their lineup.
In other news, former referee Bobby Madden has weighed in on a controversial moment involving Rangers' Kevin Kelsy's goal against Kilmarnock. He stated that VAR couldn't step in due to a lack of definitive footage concerning the alleged handball.
Meanwhile, Hibs' stand-in captain Felix Passlack expressed disappointment after a tough loss to Dundee United in Marink Reedijk's first match as manager. The players felt a palpable sense of frustration following the defeat.
As the football world turns, Aston Villa is reportedly eyeing a move for young talent Endrick, while Celtic's interest in a trialist goalkeeper, Inzalaco, remains under wraps.
