Gordon Strachan set for stunning Celtic return, according to report

Former Celtic manager Gordon Strachan looks set to return to the club, according to a report by The Scottish Sun. The 64-year-old is currently Director of Football at Dundee FC but the report states that he could make a sensational return to Celtic as soon as tomorrow.

The role states that he will act as a Senior Advisor after quitting from Dens Park. Strachan will be involved with a revamp of the Youth Academy at Lennoxtown, focusing on the players coming through the ranks at the club as well as offering the manager support if he needs it.

Strachan’s sons Gavin and Craig are currently employed by the club and the former Manchester United and Leeds United winger has been on the Celtic TV gantry over the course of last season but the news will still be received poorly by some of the support due to the same faces being brought in by the board.

Strachan won 3 League Titles in four years at Celtic, as well as winning 2 League Cups and 1 Scottish Cup. He is occasionally a good outlet of pro-Celtic opinions but he often defends the board too heavily. It will be interesting to see if there are any more appointments in the coming weeks as Dom McKay continues his revamp of the football club since taking over as CEO.

  1. Absolutely BRILLIANT news. What Gordon doesn’t know about football isn’t worth knowing. Celtic are so much the better for this appointment.
