West Brom are interested in bringing Celtic first-team coach Gavin Strachan to The Hawthorns, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

O’Rourke reported on Wednesday that Strachan has agreed a deal to join James Morrison’s coaching staff at the Championship club.

Strachan has been part of Celtic’s coaching setup since 2020 and has worked under several managers during his time at the club.

Celtic’s Gavin Strachan set to make West Brom Move

The reported move would see Strachan join Morrison at West Brom ahead of the new campaign.

Morrison was appointed as the club’s permanent head coach earlier this year and is continuing to shape his backroom team ahead of the 2026/27 season.

At the time of writing, neither Celtic nor West Brom have officially confirmed Strachan’s appointment.

What Gavin Strachan’s exit means for Celtic’s coaching team

Strachan has been a familiar figure at Lennoxtown for the past six years and has remained part of the first-team setup throughout a successful period for the club.

The report comes amid wider discussion surrounding Celtic’s coaching structure this summer, with several members of the backroom team having been linked with moves elsewhere or facing uncertainty over their futures.

For now, Strachan remains a Celtic coach, with supporters awaiting further developments following O’Rourke’s report.
