JOHN COLLINS
He, like Nicholas, has gone for broke and rattled off suggestions like a guy using a Thompson machine gun.
But three of his four suggestions aren’t actually all that bad.
He has Howe and Martinez on his list, along with the Salzburg coach Jessie Marsch; it’s an interesting pick because he’s a manager with much to admire about him, and would be a damned fine shout.
Collins actually only lets himself down when he throws Frank Lampard’s name into the mix because I cannot see a single thing to credit that suggestion except for the bling aspect and the way the media would sell it as part of Old Firm Inc. and a battle between two former EPL midfield legends.
But as a coach, Lampard hasn’t got anything credible to suggest that he’s nearly good enough to be a candidate, far less actually get the gig and I really do wish people would stop throwing his name into the hat.
Celtic’s board might actually start thinking it’s a goer.
