Moyes to 'wait until summer time' to decide on future

David Moyes has piqued the interest of Celtic and Aston Villa as they seek a new manager to take the helm for the 2016-17 campaign, but the clubs will have to wait on a decision from the Scot.

Moyes has been out of job since been sacked by Real Sociedad last November, but would bring some considerable pedigree to either role due to his successes at the helms of Preston North End and Everton.

His following stints at Manchester United and in the Basque Country were less celebrated, but the 52-year-old has a serious soft spot for Celtic after representing it between 1980 and 1983 in his playing days. Current boss Ronny Deila will leave Parkhead at the end of the season.

"I'm going to wait until summer time and make a decision then," he said. "There's lots of clubs that will interest me and Celtic are a great club.

"Celtic's a brilliant football club, a great football club, with unbelievable support and fanbase."

Other names in the frame for the job are former player and manager Neil Lennon and Roy Keane, who patrolled the Hoops' midfield between 2005 and 2006.

Hibernian gaffer Alan Stubbs, who also played for Celtic, steered his answer away from the vacancy when asked about it by reporters.

"I don't think it's a relevant question to be honest to be asking right now," he said.

"I am more inclined to answer the question by saying that I'm just really sorry for Ronny. He seems a really good guy."

Despite the likelihood that Deila will not to be remembered fondly due to his miserable European outings, the Norwegian is almost certain to claim a second consecutive Scottish Premiership title this season.

With an eight-point advantage over second-placed Aberdeen, Celtic faces the visit of Ross County on Sunday.
