Neil Lennon expects Eddie Howe to be a big hit at Celtic - but warns he'll face a "culture shock" after Bournemouth.
The Englishman is set to be named as the new Parkhead manager, and he'll be tasked with wresting the Premiership crown back from Rangers.
He'll replace Lennon as permanent manager, and the former Celtic boss expects Howe's style to be a hit with the club's fans.
But he's warned his likely successor that he'll face a real change from what he was used to at Bournemouth.
Lennon said on BBC Five Live: "It's quite a culture shock and if we're hypothetically talking about Eddie he's coming from a real family club like Bournemouth.
"He's lived there and worked there all his career.
"I think it would be a coup for Celtic to get someone like Eddie, I think he's a top coach.
"His style of play suits a club like Celtic, he'd be ingratiated with the Celtic fans very quickly if he can adopt that style that he had at Bournemouth.
"In the Championship and then in the first formative years in the Premier League they were great to watch.
"But off the field, away from the training ground, life's going to be very, very different to what he was used to at Bournemouth.
"There's going to be a lot of speculation, a lot of media interest and obviously a lot of interest from supporters.
"Glasgow's not a huge city but you've got two humongous clubs there and the rivalry is thousands of years old - and it'll go on for the next thousand years as well.
"So it's exciting, but it'll take a bit of adapting for him there's no question about that."
