For once, it has probably been a quiet international break for Celtic, and it’s something everyone would take.
But you can’t say that for the rest of the footballing world, given the news emerging from the English Premier League and the ripple effect that is happening across the pond.

Now that all of Celtic’s signings have had time to settle, what do you make of the summer business looking back?
Who has impressed and who has fell short of expectations?
Guardiola left Manchester City in the summer, and he is currently out of work, and it has been suggested by Tom Bogert for The Athletic, as well as reported in the States, that he is the number one target for USMNT.
From a financial standpoint, USMNT could push the boat out to try and lure the legendary Spanish coach to their shores – he recently turned down Italy’s national job.
🚨🇺🇸 Sources: U.S. Soccer is expected to make Pep Guardiola a top target to become next USMNT head coach. Obviously the pursuit would not be straightforward nor easy. But likely to start with call to Pep. w/ @PaulTenorio @HenryBushnell https://t.co/zHaggH9J7i

But if Guardiola were to become the USMNT coach, there could be a distinct possibility that both of Celtic’s centre-backs are coached by him on a regular basis.
Trusty has been called up by the USMNT again, but Carter-Vickers hasn’t got the nod from his country, as he looks to fight his way back into the main squad following a long-term injury.
But it seems as though USMNT, who has had Pochettino in charge since September 2024, will push the boat out to try and replace their Manchester United-bound coach, and it all should end well for Trusty and Carter-Vickers.
Celtic fans have moaned about the level of coaching at club level this season; well, you can’t argue with what Guardiola will lay down if he takes the gig in the States – although there is a long way to go for that to happen yet.
