According to Sky Sports, former Portsmouth boss Tony Adams says he'll become Celtic boss if Wim Jansen is appointed as technical director there.

Talking to Andy Townsend and Mike Parry on TalkSPORT radio, Adams said: “My good friend Wim Jansen is probably in at Celtic. It would be him as technical director and me as manager.

"By saying manager, it is kind of a head coach’s position really because once you have a technical director like you have in Europe, they help you with recruitment. They do the ‘nuts and bolts’, the travel arrangements, the hotels, and all that kind of stuff.

"As long as you have the final say of who comes in and out, these people are your help in the boardroom.

"I never had that at Portsmouth. It works for me and Celtic is an unbelievable club, you have a 50% chance of winning something up there.”

When asked if he had applied for the vacant Celtic managerial post, Adams said: “I’ve not applied for the role. I know Wim Jansen, who has put me in there. I think they approached him and I know Wim from my Feyenoord days and he’s actually said that he would only do the role if I were to be made manager. That’s Vim’s opinion, not Celtic’s.”
