Celtic are reportedly considering former or current coaching candidates, with McKenna included among potential standby options if the club decides to make a mid-season managerial change, according to gossip reported by multiple outlets.
Both sources describe the situation as part of contingency planning within Celtic’s hierarchy rather than an announcement of any immediate decision. The reports do not indicate that McKenna has been formally approached in an official capacity, nor do they specify the conditions under which a change would occur.
While the outlets align on the core claim that McKenna features on a list of alternative candidates, they do not provide further verified detail on the broader set of options, timing, or whether any other names are under consideration. The story is presented as unconfirmed reporting based on internal club discussions rather than a confirmed managerial appointment.
