News about Jackie McNamara

JOHN HARTSON: I believe we were all guilty of giving Brendan Rodgers a little bit of flak and uttering some harsh terms when he left Celtic for Leicester City in 2019. At the time, I said that it seemed that he had pulled the wool over my eyes and that he had let the Celtic family down. That was because everyone associated with the club was so upset at losing such a brilliant boss. Any fans will be disgruntled that Brendan is back for a second stint at Celtic Park. That was back in the day, but now it is. I was over in Jersey over the weekend with Joe Ledley and Jackie McNamara at a fantastic Tommy Burns dinner and dance evening with about 200 Celtic fans.

Since arriving in 2021, returning Celtic to the top of Scottish football, with the club expected to win the treble this season, Postecoglou, 57, has thrived at Parkhead. As a result, the former Socceroos boss has been linked with the bright lights of the Premier League, and bookmakers have rated Postecoglou as a front-runner to face either the Tottenham or Leicester vacancies.
