# Celtic: Alan Nixon’s latest Eddie Howe posts

**Reliable reporter [Alan Nixon](https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/status/1397645165410623489) has regularly interacted with Celtic supporters on social media during the club’s search for a new manager.**

And on Wednesday evening, Nixon provided an [update](https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/status/1397645165410623489) on the situation regarding Eddie Howe moving to Celtic Park.

### The Lowdown: All roads point to Parkhead…

Celtic’s interest in Howe has been no secret over the last nine weeks.

They met the 43-year-old at the [beginning of April](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/6906872/howe-celtic-face-to-face-talks-desmond/), and their pursuit of the Englishman was given a massive boost following Bournemouth’s Championship playoff exit last weekend.

The [Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/eddie-howe-celtic-bournemouth-collapse-24163160) claimed that all roads now lead to Parkhead following the Cherries’ failure to return to the Premier League, with Howe poised to bring a number of staff members from Bournemouth to Glasgow.

### The Latest: Nixon answers Howe questions

Celtic [released a statement on Wednesday afternoon](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/may/An-update-for-our-Season-Ticket-holders/) regarding plans for season ticket holders, admitting they intend to finalise the appointment of a new manager shortly.

Nixon, who writes for [The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/author/alan-nixon/), was asked for an update on Howe’s move to Celtic.

He gave a [six-word reply](https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/status/1397644196601806853):

> “Sorting out staff… there’s a few…”

Minutes later, [Nixon was quizzed on a potential announcement regarding Howe](https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/status/1397645165410623489), with the reporter believing the Hoops are ‘restless’ following their Wednesday statement.

> “It’s ongoing… Celtic statement today tells me they’re a tad restless all the same…”

### The Verdict: Don’t panic…

Even though Nixon feels the Hoops are ‘a tad restless’ on the situation, we think Celtic fans shouldn’t panic over a deal potentially collapsing.

Club chiefs in Glasgow had their fears that [Crystal Palace could scupper a move](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-celtic-fear-palace-could-scupper-howe-appointment-after-big-development/), but it looks as if things are now slowly piecing together for Howe to move north.

Agreeing on deals with Bourmeouth for multiple staff members could prove to be a slow process, especially with their second-tier heartbreak still raw.

Celtic are bound to feel restless after their deal for [defender Ben Davies collapsed back in January](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ben-davies-liverpool-transfer-leaves-23420520), however, showing nothing is done until it’s done, but it seems as if Howe has his heart set on a move to Scotland, and hopefully, a deal will be announced over the coming days.
