McGeady, one of Celtic’s most recognizable former wingers, has already spoken publicly about his desire to return to the club and use his experience to help develop the next generation of players. He has specifically highlighted his ability to help young wingers and forwards improve their game.
In this reported scenario, McGeady’s return would represent a completely new chapter. Rather than putting on the famous green-and-white shirt, the former star would be working from the coaching side, passing on the knowledge he gained throughout a long professional career.
His message would be clear: he wants to help Celtic develop young players capable of becoming first-team stars and competing for major trophies.
McGeady spent ten years at Celtic as a player and won four league titles, two Scottish Cups and one Scottish League Cup during his time with the club.
A return to Celtic would therefore carry considerable emotional weight for supporters who watched him emerge from the club’s academy and establish himself as one of the most exciting attacking players of his generation.
The former Republic of Ireland international has previously explained that he believes his experience should be passed on rather than kept to himself. He has said he would be interested in helping players at first-team, B-team or academy level.
If appointed, McGeady would reportedly have one major ambition: to help take Celtic to the highest possible level and produce the next generation of players capable of delivering league titles, domestic cups and European success.
For Celtic fans, the prospect of seeing one of their former stars back at the club would be an exciting one. His knowledge of attacking football and personal experience of progressing through Celtic’s system could make him a valuable mentor for young players.
