Ange Postecoglou is unlikely to return to Celtic this season.
Managerial updates have been the theme in North London for several months now, with Ange Postecoglou’s sacking at Tottenham closely followed by the appointment of Thomas Frank.
Postecoglou landed himself a new job at Nottingham Forest, before being sacked just 39 days into his tenure, and then being linked with a return to Celtic.
However, reports on Thursday claim that a move back to Glasgow is unlikely to happen for the Australian.
Lyall Thomas reported via X that it is “very unlikely” that he will become Celtic manager, though another familiar Spurs face remains in the running.

Former Tottenham striker could land Celtic job
Harry Kane is the most notable, but Tottenham have had some incredible strikers over the years, several of whom have an excellent record in North London.
Names like Jermain Defoe and Jimmy Greaves all feature on a long list of Spurs legends, as does Robbie Keane.
Now, according to odds provided by William Hill, Keane is in the running to become the next Celtic manager, with odds of 3/1, which have been shortened significantly from 8/1.
Despite the update claiming it is unlikely, Postecoglou remains above Keane at 5/2, with Kieran McKenna a surprise favourite at 11/8.
Throughout a nine-year spell at Tottenham, Keane made 306 appearances, with 112 goals to his name.
Robbie Keane’s managerial career to date
Since leaving Tottenham in 2008 and then again in 2011, Keane has certainly had an exotic career.
The Irishman spent time on loan at Celtic, West Ham and Aston Villa, as well as having stints at LA Galaxy and Atletico de Kolkata in India.
Upon retiring there, Keane moved into coaching, where he would spend time as an assistant at Ireland, Middlesbrough and Leeds before landing his first full-time job.
In 2023, Keane was appointed as Tel Aviv manager, where he recorded an average of 2.32 points per game from 53 games.
Now at Ferencvaros, Keane has seen his side average two points per game from his first 40 in charge, with links to Celtic emerging as a result.
