John Kennedy Celtic exit call looming with Hoops braced for FC Midtjylland manager approach

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Celtic are braced for an approach for John Kennedy with Midtjylland eying up the Hoops coach for the manager’s gig. The Danish cracks are drawing up a shortlist for the position after sacking Bo Henriksen at the weekend following a poor start to the Superliga season. Record Sport understands Midtjylland – who knocked Celts out of the Champions League qualifiers last season – have yet to make contact with Parkhead chiefs over an official approach for Kennedy.

But the Danes have already discussed the possibility of putting the long serving Parkhead backroom man on to their whittled down list of candidates.

Kennedy is understood to be happy with his role at Lennoxtown having been kept on in a key role under Ange Postecoglou having worked alongside Ronny Deila, Brendan Rodgers and Neil Lennon – before spending the last three months of the season before last as caretaker boss after Lennon’s departure.

The 38-year-old has a big reputation behind the scenes at Celtic Park and had been tipped to become a manager on his own at some point in the future.
