Marco Rose among the contenders to take the Celtic job

Highly-rated RB Salzburg coach Marco Rose has emerged as one of the favourites for the Celtic job.

The Daily Record reports that odds on Rose taking over at Parkhead in the summer have dropped, making him second in line behind current favourite and interim boss Neil Lennon.

Steve Clarke had been among the early contenders, but it now appears that Rose could be ahead of him in the pecking order.

Rose is an exciting young coach, who Celtic will now all about after facing his Salzburg side in the Europa League.

Salzburg beat the Hoops in both their respective meetings in Europe earlier this season.

Known for their attacking style of play, Rose is very highly regarded across Europe.

Celtic are set to make a decision on a permanent replacement for Brendan Rodgers in the summer, with Lennon taking the job until then.

The latter remains the early favourite to take the job beyond the end of the season.
