Sean Dyche is reportedly open to becoming the next Celtic manager if the Scottish club decides to part ways with Martin O'Neill. Pressure has increased on O'Neill following a defeat to arch-rivals Rangers, which cut Celtic's lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table to two points. While O'Neill is expected to see out his contract expiring next summer, Dyche is considered a potential candidate if a change occurs.

According to Football Insider, no active discussions are taking place between Celtic and Dyche. The 55-year-old tactician last managed Nottingham Forest for 25 games and was previously linked with Tottenham Hotspur. Dyche is reportedly prepared to wait for developments regarding O'Neill's future before making any potential move to Glasgow.
