The former Bournemouth manager is [thought to be on Palace’s radar](https://www.footballinsider247.com/celtic-news-howe-sounded-out-by-palace/) to potentially replace Roy Hodgson at the end of the season. Howe reached a [verbal agreement with Scottish giants Celtic](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-howe-reaches-verbal-agreement-with-celtic-after-london-talks/), but the 43-year-old is [reportedly](https://www.footballinsider247.com/celtic-news-howe-sounded-out-by-palace/) now having second thoughts.
