Brendan Rodgers is set to join Leicester City after Celtic granted him permission to speak with the Premier League club.
The former Liverpool manager will replace Claude Puel, who was sacked on Sunday. Rodgers' assistants, Chris Davies and Kolo Toure, are expected to join him at the King Power.
Celtic released a statement on Tuesday saying: "Celtic today confirmed that it has been approached by Leicester to speak to Brendan Rodgers with regards to their current managerial vacancy.
"Brendan has indicated to the club that this is an opportunity he wishes to investigate further and therefore, very reluctantly, the club has granted him permission to speak to Leicester."
