Celtic are believed to be admirers of Everton manager David Moyes, with his contract expiring with the Toffees in the summer.

Everton are in an interesting position at this stage of the season after it was confirmed that their owners, the Friedkin Group, are looking to sell the club.

Moyes has been with Everton for his second spell since January 2025, but his contract is set to expire in the summer.

Whether Moyes gets a new deal at Everton remains to be seen, but there are certainly doubts surrounding his future, especially if new ownership arrives.

Potential new Everton owners might be looking to move Moyes on and bring in their own man, especially as they won't have to pay him compensation.

Celtic boss Martin O'Neill is also out of contract in the summer, even though the Scottish club have an option to extend it by another year.

According to a report from journalist Alan Nixon, Moyes is almost certain to leave the club in the coming months.

The report claims that new owners could have their own boss in mind, and with his contract expiring at the end of the season, he's almost guaranteed to be heading for the exit door.

Nixon also adds that Celtic are long-term admirers of Moyes and have been put on alert, especially as they will be able to get him without paying compensation.

It remains to be seen whether O'Neill will continue at Celtic heading into next season, but there has been doubt surrounding his future.

As it stands, Celtic currently sit top of the Scottish Premiership table with a two-point lead over their Glasgow rivals Rangers.

Doubts emerged over the future of Celtic manager O'Neill after the Glasgow club were defeated by their rivals Rangers two games on the bounce.

O'Neill made comments after the match, hinting that it could be time for him to wrap it up, although he's remained in charge since then.

That also hints that he might not be around heading into next season, which puts further doubt around his long-term future.

As a result, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Celtic make a move for a manager like Moyes in the future.

Moyes is yet to manage in Scotland, which might come as a surprise given that it's his place of birth. It could be a nice fairy-tale ending to his managerial career.

Whether he'd be interested is unclear, but he does look set to be leaving Everton.
