“I know there are some Hoops supporters who wouldn’t welcome Malky’s appointment, But he has great coaching and managerial experience at a high level and enjoyed success at Cardiff.”
“His time there ended in disappointment when he was sacked. His reputation, too, has been tarnished by the controversy over the text messages which he sent which were allegedly racist and sexist in their nature. I don’t know the full story about what went on at Cardiff, but I know Malky personally and I can tell you for a fact he is not that type of bloke. “
“From a football perspective, he is a good manager and a coach. He did an exceptional job at Cardiff and I think he could do the same at Celtic.”
Mackay has not employed since being sacked by Wigan in April last year.
The club were subsequently relegated from the Championship.
Celtic CEO Peter Lawwell has recently suggested that the club will look to appoint a manager in the next two weeks with David Moyes, Paul Lambert, Neil Lennon, Roy Keane and Brendan Rodgers are also said to be in the running for the post.
