Celtic are setting their sights on Robbie Keane to become their next manager, according to reports. The Scottish Premiership leaders are actively pursuing the Ferencvaros boss, who has been linked with the role for some time. This move comes as Celtic search for a successor to Brendan Rodgers, who left the club earlier this month.

Keane, a former Celtic player and Ireland international, brings significant experience managing in Europe. His potential appointment would be a major coup for the club, signaling a desire to return to a more attacking style of play. Celtic face competition from Cruz Azul for the services of on-loan Bournemouth defender Julian Araujo, who is reportedly considering his future beyond the season.

Meanwhile, former Rangers and Scotland midfielder Charlie Adam has thrown his hat in the ring for the vacant St Mirren manager's job, while Dundee United are closing in on signing Newcastle Jets winger Lachlan Rose. Inverness Caledonian Thistle want on-loan Aberdeen striker Alfie Bavidge to sign permanently, and Hearts striker Claudio Braga is a Celtic target, though Brighton are also interested.
