David Moyes describes Celtic as a "brilliant football club" and refuses to rule himself out of the running for the Parkhead manager's job.

David Moyes has decided not to rule himself out of the running for the soon-to-be-vacant manager's position at Celtic.

It was confirmed earlier today that the current occupant of the Parkhead hotseat - Ronny Deila - will step down at the end of the season.

Former Celtic defender Moyes, who has been out of work since leaving Real Sociedad last November, was immediately installed as the favourite to replace Deila with the bookmakers.

Asked on Sky Sports News if it was a job that interested him, the 52-year-old provided a coy response.

"Celtic is a brilliant football club. [It has] an unbelievable fanbase and is one of the biggest in the world," he said.

"I'm going to wait until the summer time. There is no hurry. Lots of jobs would interest me and like I said, Celtic is a great club."

Glasgow-born Moyes was part of the Celtic squad that won the Scottish Premier Division title in 1982.
