Koeman claims Celtic interest

Ronald Koeman has claimed that he is in the running to become the new Celtic boss.

Neil Lennon has been placed in charge until the end of the season following Tony Mowbray's sacking in March.

A host of big names have been linked with the Parkhead position and now Koeman claims he is in the reckoning.

The former Dutch international was last in work earlier this season before departing AZ Alkmaar in December.

"Its an option that I am thinking about very seriously," he told De Telegraaf about Celtic.

But Koeman, who has had previous coaching spells with Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, Benfica and Valencia, also says he has other options.

"There's more interest from right and left. I cannot mention names, but these are all foreign clubs.

"Within one week I hope to determine where I go."
