David Moyes has revealed he has turned down the opportunity to take over at Celtic.
The West Ham boss has been linked with the role in recent years but his success at the Hammers last season all but ruled out any chance of him moving north of the border.
Moyes spent time at Celtic Park as a player and it was before Neil Lennon took over that he was linked with the job most but he ended up staying at West Ham.
Lennon left last year and Ange Postecoglou took over but Moyes admits he's had early discussions with the club on a couple of occasions but nothing ever came of them.
He insists he would never rule out the job but reckons that the Old Firm goldfish bowl could put him off ever taking it unless it was the perfect move for him.
He told BBC Sportsound: “Over the years there’s been approaches and talks, but we never got to a stage where anything got too serious.
“To manage Celtic you need to be special and realise the size of club it is.
“I think there will be a time when I choose to come back. But it’s always difficult in a city like Glasgow.
“I’ve managed in Liverpool, Manchester, and it’s tough. Half the city dislikes you and sometimes all the city dislikes you, depending on how you’ve done.
“Glasgow is my home city, I always want to be able to come back and mix with all the supporters. So that sometimes can make the job difficult, but it wouldn’t stop me from doing it if I thought it was the right thing.”
