Celtic fans all say the same thing after Diego Laxalt drops Eddie Howe clue

Celtic fans are buzzing as Diego Laxalt hinted that Eddie Howe could be announced as their new manager.

The former Bournemouth boss has been the clear frontrunner for the position since Neil Lennon's departure and talk has ramped up that the Parkhead side are closing in on their top target.

And the Hoops left-back has added more fuel to the fire as he dropped a clue that Howe's arrival is imminent.

On Monday night, Laxalt was answering questions from supporters while streaming the video game Fortnite and suggested he was going to meet Howe on Tuesday.

He was asked: “Did you meet Eddie Howe yet?”

And Laxalt responded: "No, no, no. Tomorrow. Tomorrow.”

Celtic fans are delighted about the accidental slip but are in disbelief this is the way they find out about their new manager, if it turns out to be true.

@KierHar said: "Please be true please be true please be true."

@bhoy_al added: "Pls be true."

@ConorM67 tweeted: "Please be true."

@colwall1975 said "This would be a very modern way of letting the cat out of the bag."

@Robbie_OR added: "A Celtic player announcing their new manager via a Fortnite stream. Fair play."

@McgregorC90 tweeted: "Imagine it's true and Laxalt announced the manager via a Fortnite stream.
