# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Howe’s Celtic twist

**Plenty of Crystal Palace supporters have been reacting to a report regarding manager Eddie Howe on social media.**

The [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9448683/Eddie-Howe-NOT-close-return-football-Celtic-Crystal-Palace-interest.html) shared a story on Thursday morning, with Howe’s representative distancing any deal to Celtic, labelling the talks of a move to Glasgow as [‘extremely premature’](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9448683/Eddie-Howe-NOT-close-return-football-Celtic-Crystal-Palace-interest.html).

The Hoops were [thought to be closing in on the Englishman as Neil Lennon’s successor](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9448683/Eddie-Howe-NOT-close-return-football-Celtic-Crystal-Palace-interest.html), however, it doesn’t appear as if a move to Glasgow will be announced anytime soon.

### Howe on Palace’s radar

Howe is also [on Palace’s shortlist as a potential replacement for Roy Hodgson](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9448683/Eddie-Howe-NOT-close-return-football-Celtic-Crystal-Palace-interest.html), with the 73-year-old’s deal out of contract at the end of the season.

The 43-year-old, previously in charge of Bournemouth, has been out of work since August and will [wait until the summer](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9448683/Eddie-Howe-NOT-close-return-football-Celtic-Crystal-Palace-interest.html) before a potential return to the dugout.
