Eddie Howe 'has agreed a deal to become the new Celtic manager' and will take over in the summer.
The 43-year-old, who left Bournemouth after eight years in charge last August, is reportedly finalising his backroom staff for the Parkhead job.
TalkSPORT say Howe has agreed to take on the challenge of wrestling the Scottish Premiership title back from Old Firm rivals Rangers.
Steven Gerrard has revitalised the Ibrox club and they easily won the title this season to deny Celtic 10 in a row.
