Celtic defender Charlie Mulgrew has stressed that the club's players want a new manager to be appointed at Celtic Park as quickly as possible.
Neil Lennon stood down as Celtic boss last week in search of a new challenge, having led the Bhoys to this season's Scottish Premiership title in comfortable fashion.
A number of candidates have been linked with succeeding Lennon, including current Ireland assistant boss Roy Keane, former Cardiff manager Malky Mackay and ex-Wigan boss Owen Coyle.
And Mulgrew has revealed the players believe a new manager must be appointed speedily.
