Celtic are still searching for their next permanent appointment, and a recently sacked boss has been tipped to take charge of the club.<\/p>\n

Brendan Rodgers resigned as Celtic boss<\/a> before club owner Dermot Desmond launched a scathing attack on the 52-year-old.<\/p>\n

Martin O\u2019Neill has taken charge on an interim basis and oversaw Celtic\u2019s 3-1 win over Rangers<\/a> which secured the Hoops\u2019 passage to the Scottish League Cup final against St Mirren.<\/p>\n

Kieran McKenna is a leading contender for the Celtic job<\/a>, whilst Ange Postecoglou may return for a second spell, as the Hoops weigh up their options.<\/p>\n

Championship Southampton<\/a> have sacked manager Will Still after 13 matches, with the Saints 21st in the table. <\/p>\n

Still had enjoyed success in France as manager of Reims and Lens, but his first managerial appointment in England did not work out.<\/p>\n

Hugh Woozencroft, posting on X [2nd November] does not believe his time at St Mary\u2019s should put clubs off, with Celtic<\/a> tipped to make a move.<\/p>\n

\u201cWill Still will make a very good manager at Championship level. Yes, there were undoubted poor performances but there were also some very good ones, where, had Saints taken their chances \u2013 it would have at least given him more time,\u201d Woozencroft said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m Celtic, I\u2019m on the phone in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Could Martin O\u2019Neill stay at Celtic?<\/p>\n

Speaking after Celtic\u2019s success over Rangers<\/a>, O\u2019Neill said he would \u201clove to\u201d lead the Hoops out as manager for the final.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Neill has won both his games in charge so far and is adored by the support for his first spell in charge of the club.<\/p>\n

Celtic\u2019s more direct approach under O\u2019Neill has worked so far, and the 73-year-old looks to be getting the best out of key stars.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
