West Brom Open Talks for Gavin Strachan Move

West Brom are in talks with Celtic over taking gavin strachan south of the border. The Championship club are trying to add a coach to James Morrison’s backroom team as they reshape staff for the division ahead.

West Brom and Celtic

The move would pull the 47-year-old away from Celtic after six years there. He has worked under Neil Lennon, Ange Postecoglou, Brendan Rodgers and Martin O’Neill, and was part of the staff that won the Premiership and Scottish Cup last term.

James Morrison’s rebuild

West Brom finished 21st in the Championship last term, one spot ahead of the bottom three. That finish explains why the club are pressing ahead with changes around Morrison’s group rather than standing still after a season spent near the drop zone.

The report says West Brom are looking to land Gavin Strachan as part of that rebuild. For Celtic, the talks involve a long-serving staff member who has been part of a trophy-winning setup, while West Brom are trying to strengthen a backroom team built for Championship football.

Strachan and Celtic

Strachan’s six-year spell covers several managerial eras, which makes him a steady presence in a changing environment. Losing him would strip Celtic of a coach who has been around the club through Lennon, Postecoglou, Rodgers and O’Neill, and it would give West Brom another piece for a staff that is still being assembled.
