# Celtic: Kennedy under full-time consideration as cheap option

**Celtic interim boss John Kennedy is under consideration to succeed former manager Neil Lennon on a full-time basis.**

That’s according to a report from [Give Me Sport](https://www.givemesport.com/1668370-celtic-exclusive-john-kennedy-under-consideration-for-managers-job), who have had information revealed to them regarding the Hoops’ hunt for a new boss.

### Kennedy in with a chance of Celtic job

They claim that the 37-year-old is in with a chance of landing the position permanently with Celtic looking at a ‘traditional approach’.

Celtic’s ‘traditional approach’ is thought to be based on individuals who understand the Parkhead role, with Kennedy a possible cheap option.

Kennedy has taken charge of three games as interim boss, picking up [five points from a possible nine](https://www.skysports.com/celtic-results).

### Transfer Tavern take

With Kennedy having [no senior managerial experience prior to his role as Celtic caretaker](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/john-kennedy/profil/trainer/12714), we feel that it would be a huge risk appointing him on a full-time basis.

It’s not as if the Hoops have become a different side under his guidance. They’ve scored [twice in 270 minutes](https://www.skysports.com/celtic-results) of football and failed to beat eighth-placed Dundee United.

To us, we think they need to steer clear of Kennedy when it comes to the long run.
