McCarthy rules out Celtic

Wolves manager Mick McCarthy has ruled himself out of the running for the vacant managerial job at Celtic.

A former Celtic player, McCarthy has distanced himself from the job, saying he wants to continue at Wolves after keeping the Molineux side in the Premier League.

The 51 year-old says that he would be interested in taking the job, just some time in the future.

McCarthy told the Daily Express: "I'm happy at Wolves right now and looking forward to another season in the Premier League.

"The job is not one for me right now, but I couldn't rule it out in the future as I loved my time at the club."

Craig Levein and Neil Lennon remain the bookies favourites to get the job, with Paul L ambert and Mark Hughes the next closest.
