The wait for a new manager at Celtic rolls on.
Neil Lennon's departure feels like a distant memory but if the club are close to replacing him, they're keeping it very much under wraps.
Eddie Howe looked destined for the role just a few weeks ago but it's all gone suspiciously quiet on that front.
Roy Keane was another name in the frame but that seems a fairly unlikely proposition at this stage.
Former Rangers star Alan Hutton admits he's baffled it gone on this long.
He suspects the likes of Howe are holding out for other offers but warned the longer Celtic leave it, the harder it'll become to find the right man.
“He’s a character alright," Hutton said of Keane while speaking to Football Insider.
“I’ll tell you one thing. There wouldn’t have been any long periods of silence in the dressing room if he was there. He’s obviously got the experience, he’s got the know-how, he’s played at the highest level possible.
“He’ll ruffle the feathers, get people going and get them up for it. That, there is no doubt. It’s a huge job with a lot of pressure and a lot of pressure to start quickly. I know his name keeps getting bandied about, so does Eddie Howe.
“Sometimes I think why are they not going for somebody? I can’t really get my head round it. I don’t understand why we’re not further forward now. Lennon went a few weeks ago and we’re still not really seeing anything.
“I don’t really get it. Whether these guys, are they waiting for a better offer from another team?
“Or are Celtic just trying to bide their time, make sure they make the right decision? The longer it goes on the harder it gets.”
