Former Celtic player Alan Thompson believes Eddie Howe would be a “perfect fit” at Celtic as they search for a permanent replacement for Neil Lennon. John Kennedy was named Hoops interim boss until the end of the season after Lennon resigned from the post in February. Howe has been mentioned as a possible candidate to take over at Celtic Park and Thompson - who played for the club from 2000-2007 - has endorsed the former Bournemouth manager. I think he'd be a perfect fit for the job," Thompson told Sky Sports News ahead of Sunday's Old Firm game between Rangers and Celtic - live on Sky Sports. "As it stands, being 20 points behind their rivals Rangers, they will go into the game as underdogs," said Thompson.
