The next Celtic manager hunt continues as a name has been revealed that is being discussed in the Celtic boardroom.
There have been a number of names entering the fray and it is widely being talked about that Wilfried Nancy could become the next Celtic manager.
Kjetil Knutsen has also been linked to the vacant Celtic job, but 17 days since Brendan Rodgers resigned, and it appears the Parkhead club is no closer to replacing the Northern Irishman.
That is, until now after a report says there is a name currently being discussed by the Celtic executives in the Parkhead boardroom.

The Celtic boardroom is talking about Cardiff boss Brian Barry-Murphy
Brian Barry-Murphy is reportedly being spoken about by the Celtic boardroom as the man to replace Brendan Rodgers.
The Daily Record reports the Cardiff City boss is one of a number of names being considered for the toughest job in Scottish football as the Celtic boardroom looks for their new man.
Barry-Murphy currently has Cardiff fourth in League One just four points from top as the Irishman chases promotion to England’s second-tier.
In their last 14 games, Cardiff have won eight, drawn two and lost four, but that is not the reason why Celtic cannot appoint the 47-year-old head coach.
Why Celtic cannot take a chance on Brian Barry-Murphy
Barry-Murphy is undoubtedly a good coach, however, he has only held two managerial posts in his entire career, all in the lower leagues of England.
The Cardiff boss took charge of Rochdale back in 2019 and took charge of 105 games before resigning two years later.
Barry-Murphy averaged just 1.19 points per game losing 49, drawing 25 and winning just 35 games as the main man at Rochdale.
After that, he moved to Man City where he gained a very good reputation working and developing the youngsters at the Premier League club.
Now at Cardiff, Barry-Murphy is going well in England’s third tier as his record above shows, but the Celtic job is a completely different animal.
The Celtic job is not one that should be given to a manager with no track record of winning major trophies with big clubs.
The pressure in Glasgow is immense, and with the challenge of Hearts and possibly Rangers, an experienced head is required at this moment in time.
Whilst we have no doubt the Irishman is a fine coach, the Celtic job is just not right for him at this moment in time.
