Celtic fans respond to John Terry rumours

Several Celtic fans have been reacting to a recent story linking John Terry with a move to Parkhead.

According to The Sun, cited by The 72, the Hoops, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace are all interested in the 40-year-old.

Terry, who is yet to gain any first team managerial experience, has been learning his trade under Dean Smith, serving as the boyhood Villa fan’s assistant in the Midlands. He joined Villa as a player in 2017 and, after failing to help them out of the Championship on the pitch, joined the club’s coaching setup.

The recent report suggested that a move to the south coast with Bournemouth remains Terry’s ‘most likely’ option. However, the links to become Neil Lennon’s successor at Celtic Park certainly had plenty of Hoops fans talking on social media.

We shared the story on our official Read Celtic Facebook and Twitter pages on Tuesday afternoon.

Here is what these Hoops supporters had to say, with the majority fairly unimpressed.
