Celtic are reportedly concerned that Crystal Palace could scupper their bid to bring Eddie Howe to Glasgow with a move of their own.
As to be expected, the latest twist has had plenty of Eagles fans talking on social media.
According to an exclusive report from Football Insider, a Hoops source admitted the Scottish club are concerned that Palace could ambush a move, which has reportedly been verbally agreed.
The south Londoners are thought to be in the market for a new manager, with Roy Hodgson’s deal expiring over the coming months.
Burnley’s Sean Dyche is another man who has been linked with a move to Selhurst Park, and the Eagles have reportedly made contact with the Clarets boss.
However, it seems as if Howe is another man on the club’s radar, but it appears as if they face a race against time should they wish to snatch the former Bournemouth boss from Celtic’s grasp.
Palace fans react
@CPFCtransfersHQ shared the news from Football Insider on Saturday afternoon, and here is what some Eagles fans had to say in reply…
"I feel sick to the stomach"
"Howe and Dyche ping pong. We end up with Lampard."
"If we wanted him we could have him. The Luton job is more attractive than Celtic. Winning an egg race playing the same League One standard sides each week whilst two clubs hog all the wealth? Pass. I’d go to Luton"
"I’m saying nothing"
"BuT CeLtIc ArE a MuCh BiGgEr ClUb"
"April fools was 2 days ago"
