Knutsen Signals Interest in Celtic Job as Timing Becomes Central to Manager Search

Knutsen’s stance could push any appointment into the winter window.

Overview

  • Bodo/Glimt’s Kjetil Knutsen is reported to be keen on the vacancy but wants to complete his club’s Champions League campaign, with his contract expiring at the turn of the year.
  • Asked in Norway about Celtic, Knutsen said “nothing is certain” and suggested he would only leave for a project more exciting than Glimt, according to TV2.
  • Bookmaker markets are framing the race as a contest between Knutsen and Columbus Crew coach Wilfried Nancy, though this remains unconfirmed by the club.
  • Martin O’Neill continues as interim manager and says he expects clarity on his position within days.
  • Speculative reports link Andy Robertson with a possible pre-contract move and suggest a January bid for Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega.
