Celtic accelerate move to take Wilfried Nancy from Columbus Crew as new manager

Celtic is accelerating discussions with Wilfried Nancy, the manager of Columbus Crew, as he is poised to replace Brendan Rodgers in Glasgow. The club has reportedly informed the Major League Soccer team of their intentions, and any compensation needed to secure Nancy's move is not seen as an issue. Celtic aims to have Nancy in charge by the time they face St Mirren next weekend, concluding Martin O'Neill's interim management. O'Neill was scheduled to meet with Celtic's main shareholder, Dermot Desmond, in London. Rodgers' second stint at Celtic ended in controversy in late October, with Desmond publicly criticizing him.
