RB Salzburg coach Jesse Marsch honoured by Celtic talk

RB Salzburg coach Jesse Marsch admits he feels honoured to be linked with Celtic.

The Scottish club want a new manager after parting ways with Neil Lennon.

"I've heard [about the links]. It's an honour for me," Marsch told BBC Sport.

"Three or four years ago, being linked with a club like Celtic would literally be an impossibility for me. And now that this is where I am, I always just try to look at it in terms of, 'what would the project look like?'

"Would we have similar ideas in how to build it the right way, invest in the academy, invest in young players and create this development process that I'm talking about? And not just focus on winning.

"Obviously I know that when you're the coach of Celtic, winning is the most important thing."
