Former Holland defender Ronald Koeman is reportedly considering an offer to become the new Celtic manager. He was dismissed by Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in December, seven months into his reign.

Celtic are looking for a permanent replacement for Tony Mowbray, with Neil Lennon currently in a caretaker role.

"It (Celtic) is an option which I am thinking over quite seriously," Koeman said in De Telegraaf newspaper, adding he has a number of possible destinations.

"I cannot name names, but all concerned are foreign clubs. I hope to determine where I am going within a week."

However the Press Association are now reporting that no such contact has been made by Celtic.
