Pascal Jansen has emerged as the latest name to be linked with the Celtic job.
The Hoops are on the hunt for Ange Postecoglou's successor after he made the move to the English Premier League with Tottenham. He's penned a four-year deal in North London after two hugely successful seasons in Glasgow that ended in a Treble after his final act as manager ended with a Scottish Cup triumph at Hampden.
Dermot Desmond will not be rushed into a decision to find his next manager with the process expected to take weeks rather than days. The likes of Enzo Maresca, Brendan Rodgers and David Moyes have also been linked with the Parkhead post and now a new name has entered the list in the shape of the AZ Alkmaar boss.

The Scottish Sun report that the Hoops would need to act fast if they wanted to land the 50-year-old with both Ajax and PSV in the market for new managers and believed to be interested.
He landed a fourth place finish in the Eredivisie and reached the Europa Conference League semi-final before defeat to winners West Ham in the last four.
On his exit from Celtic, Ange told the Celtic website : “I would like to sincerely thank everyone at the club for everything they have given me. In particular, Dermot, Peter and Michael and the Celtic Board have shown me tremendous support in every aspect of my time at Celtic and I will forever be grateful for this.
"They brought me to the club and I have worked so closely and so well with them for the past two years, I will always have a special relationship with them.
“They wanted me to extend my time at Celtic and while I am so respectful and understanding of their position, a new opportunity has been presented to me and it is one which I wanted to explore.
“It was an honour to be asked to be Celtic manager and during my two years I have given everything I have to deliver success to our supporters. Culminating in the Treble at the weekend, my players and backroom team have been brilliant for me on this journey.
"They have given us all some fantastic moments through their energy and effort, creating real quality, winning football.
“Our supporters have been magnificent to me and I thank them for the way they have embraced me during the past two years. My ambition was always to give our fans a team they could be proud of, a team people talked about and I think we have achieved that.
“Celtic is a phenomenal football club, and so much more - and I will forever be a supporter of this great institution. I wish everyone connected with Celtic nothing but continued success.”
