The news that Celtic manager Ronny Deila will be leaving his role at the Scottish giants at the end of the season has sent the proverbial rumour mill into a frenzy.
In the wake of their Old Firm loss, the Bhoys have seen fit to rid of the Norwegian coach as they gear up for the return of arch rivals Rangers to top flight football.
David Moyes has been touted as the favourite to land the job, despite his strong links to Aston Villa.
As the Midlands giants prepare for life in the Championship, their plans could suffer a major blow should the former Manchester United boss decide to move to Parkhead.
While the Scot is undoubtedly a manager worthy of the Premier League, seeing him pit his wits in the English second tier is certainly a tantalising prospect.
Moyes cleverly diverted questions about an emotional return to Celtic Park on Sky Sports last night as links with Villa Park continue.
Ultimately, should the Hoops miss out on the ex-Everton coach, there are viable options currently working in the Championship who could take on a job of that magnitude.

Who exactly? Well, click the image below to find out.

Paul Lambert
Paul Lambert has barely been at Blackburn two minutes, though there are suggestions he could leave Ewood Park barely six months into his tenure.
The Scotsman is somewhat of a legend in Glasgow, having become a fans' favourite there during his playing career between 1997 and 2005.
Despite the problems at Aston Villa now, Lambert at least kept them in the top tier on a shoestring budget, playing a reasonably decent brand of football.
Knowing the club inside out, he would certainly be a popular option.
Steve Evans
Leeds United boss Steve Evans was a shock reported candidate after impressing in Yorkshire recently.
Despite his determination to remain at Elland Road, his future remains unclear under the erratic ownership of Massimo Cellino.
The 53-year old is a self-confessed Bhoys fan and certainly possesses the size of personality to take on a job as big as Celtic.
He's proved himself to be a sound tactical mind during his short stint with the Whites and would certainly make the side difficult to break down.
Russell Slade
Russell Slade has done a fantastic job at Cardiff City amid difficult circumstances financially.
The former Leyton Orient boss may not be the biggest name, but the success of Mark Warburton at Ibrox should serve as an indicator that managers with a certain level of nous in this level can indeed do the job at a side with much larger fanbases.
He's another whose future is uncertain as he is yet to pen a new deal in the Welsh capital.
Steve Bruce
With bags of experience in the Premier League, Steve Bruce would be a strong option to go for in Glasgow.
The Hull City boss has been linked with Aston Villa, though could represent a safe pair of hands for the Hoops.
He's proven to be a top manager everywhere he has been, despite the Tigers' relegation last year, taking them to the FA Cup final as well as masterminding two promotions.
Having worked at big clubs, the former Manchester United captain will know how to deal with the sort of pressure placed upon the man in charge of Celtic.
Mick McCarthy
It doesn't get much bigger than managing a nation at a World Cup, something current Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy has done during his stint as Republic of Ireland coach.
The former Sunderland chief has rebuilt his reputation in Suffolk, another to have emerged as a shock Aston Villa candidate.
He certainly has the experience to deal with Celtic, while his penchant for bringing through burgeoning talent would be a natural fit in Glasgow.
