Gavin Strachan set to join Celtic as Peterborough chief reveals deal agreed for coach

Peterborough United chief Barry Fry has revealed he's agreed a deal for coach Gavin Strachan to join Celtic.

The 41-year-old is the son of former Hoops boss Gordon Strachan.

He's assisted Posh boss Darren Ferguson since 2019 but now looks set to make a dream move to the Premiership champions.

Neil Lennon has been on the hunt for a new first-team coach following Damien Duff's departure earlier in June.

And now Fry expects the move to be completed on Monday.

He told the Peterborough Telegraph : “I have agreed a deal with Celtic’s lawyer and Gavin has also agreed a deal with the club.

“We don’t want to lose him, but we cannot stand in the way of such a big job. The deal should be completed on Monday.

“Darren has identified replacements, but they are all currently in work and we will probably wait until we know when the new season will start before making a move.”

Strachan spent time on-loan with Dundee and Motherwell during his player career.

He has also served as assistant boss with Doncaster Rovers.
