Charlie Mulgrew has stressed the need for a quick resolution to Celtic’s managerial search as the club reportedly close in on Wilfried Nancy.
Columbus Crew head coach Nancy is said to be in advanced talks over taking the reins from Martin O’Neill, who has spent four games in caretaker charge, winning three.
“I just think something needs to be done quick,” said former defender Mulgrew, who plays for Celtic in the Scottish Masters tonight – live on BBC Scotland.
He added: “If it’s Martin O’Neill staying on then get that done till the end of the season. And if it’s not, let’s get somebody in quick to move forward with transfer planning and all that type of stuff so all players are settled and know what’s happening.
“The quicker it happens, it gets rid of the uncertainty. January is a big window and that needs to be taken into consideration.
“Probably players need to move on that are not getting game-time and some players need to be brought in.
“So to do that you need somebody there that’s capable of signing players in the Celtic way in terms of everybody together in the process of what type of players they’re trying to get to maybe to sell for the future or certain players to come in and make an immediate impact.
“January’s a big window so they need to get the appointment right so it can all align together and the right signings are made.”
