EXCLUSIVE: Celtic set to beat Aston Villa to Nigel Pearson appointment
NIGEL PEARSON is in the frame to become Ronny Deila’s successor at Celtic.
Pearson could be heading to Celtic Park when Ronny Deila leaves at the end of the season
The former Leicester City boss has been discussed at length among the Parkhead hierarchy.
Express Sport understands that the Celtic board are still at the very early stages in their search for a new manager.
They are compiling a list of options which majority shareholder Dermot Desmond will narrow down to a shortlist.
David Moyes remains the bookies’ favourite to replace Deila, closely followed by Roy Keane, while Neil Lennon would love his old job back.
Steve Clarke and Malky Mackay have also declared their interest in the role since Deila confirmed he will step down at the end of the season.
