Fermanagh native Kieran McKenna is the latest name to be linked with Celtic's managerial position.
The Hoops are on the hunt for a new manager after Ange Postecoglou parted company with the club to join Tottenham Hotspur.
Postecoglou's assistant coaches John Kennedy and Gavin Strachan look set to join the Australian at Spurs which will leave the Scottish champions with a major void to fill.

A host of names have been linked with the post including Manchester City assistant coach Enzo Maresca. he is also on the radar of English Championship new boys Leicester City. Spanish sources have confirmed that the 43-year-old, though, is keen to step back into frontline management.
Meanwhile, the Celtic board are looking at a number of options and one of them is Ipswich boss McKenna. He is currently 20/1 with Paddy Power.
The 37-year-old has just led Ipswich to promotion to the English Championship. The former Manchester United coach’s teams play in a similar style to Postecoglou.
McKenna has previously coached at the academies of Tottenham and United before he moved to the Old Trafford first-team. He took charge of Ipswich back in 2021, reports the Daily Record.
Former Chelsea and Brighton boss Graham Potter has also been linked with the vacant position as has Bodo Glimt boss Kjetil Knutsen. Dutch giants Ajax want to speak to Knutsen and so far have been unable to nail down talks and there doubts Celtic would end up in a similar situation.
He has already impressed playing against the Hoops in Europe. Brendan Rodgers had initially been the early favourite but a Parkhead return looks increasingly unlikely, but not impossible.
