Earlier this month his odds to become the new boss at Parkhead were slashed significantly.

He is contracted to Salzburg until 2020 but he has talked about a new challenge.

He told Sky Sport Austria, he said: “I think it’s not so often in your career, that you have a lot of requests and then you have a lot of options.

“I know what I owe the club, and yet at some point it’s about my personal situation, about goals, about new challenges, and about making a decision.”

Celtic now face competition from Schalke and Wolsfburg. The former, Bundesliga giants, are in a similar situation as the Hoops with an interim boss in charge until the end of the season, while Bruno Labbadia’s contract at Wolfsburg expires in June.
