# Celtic: Derek Rae shares Jesse Marsch views

**Red Bull Salzburg head coach Jesse Marsch has been [tipped as a good fit](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56190593) to replace Neil Lennon at Celtic in the media recently.**

And now, the American, under contract with the Austrian giants until 2022, [says the links to Parkhead are an ‘honour’, describing a possible Glasgow switch as ‘interesting’](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56413741).

However, Bundesliga commentator [Derek Rae](https://twitter.com/RaeComm) has had his say on a possible move, believing the 47-year-old’s future lies in Germany.

Rae [shared a tweet](https://twitter.com/RaeComm/status/1372129716103184390) on Wednesday morning regarding Marsch, to which he was asked by a Celtic fan if the Hoops are in contention for Marsch.

The commentator [replied](https://twitter.com/RaeComm/status/1372130678393946119), believing Celtic can’t compete with the likes of Borussia Monchengladbach and Leipzig.

> “I don’t think they can compete with Gladbach or Leipzig & don’t think Marsch’s would jump to Celtic knowing what is likely in his future. He’s a polite man who has gone a long way in a short time & will be flattered to be linked with the job. But the Bundesliga is his future.”

### Transfer Tavern take

Marsch, [a former assistant at Red Bull Leipzig](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56413741), has been [linked](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56413741) to some top Bundesliga positions recently, so Rae could be correct by stating his future may lie in Germany.

Rae’s six-word admission, ‘I don’t think they can compete’, could upset [some Celtic supporters who now want to see the American in Scotland following his comments](https://celtsarehere.com/better-than-rodgers-get-it-done-many-celtic-fans-excited-by-latest-hoops-development/).

With Marsch so openly sharing his feelings towards a possible Celtic Park move, we feel as if the Hoops now have to follow up and at least ask the question.

It seems as if the club [will appoint a director of football before a manager](https://www.footballinsider247.com/celtic-plan-to-appoint-director-of-football/), however, with time ticking, the Hoops may have to act relatively fast to seal Marsch’s services as he appears to be attracting plenty of interest from the Bundesliga.
