Owen Coyle is wanted by Celtic, who aim to conclude a deal for the Burnley manager by the end of the week.

Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell has spoken to the 42-year-old, who has taken the Clarets to the Premier League in his first full season in charge.

Burnley are anxious to keep Coyle and have offered him a contract extension.

And operations director Brendan Flood said he is "100% sure that Owen Coyle will lead Burnley in to their first season in the top flight in 33 years."

Flood also said there had been no official approach from the Glasgow club for Paisley-born Coyle, who has two years of his current deal to run at Turf Moor.

Coyle joined Burnley from St Johnstone in November 2007, a few days before the Perth side won the SFL Challenge Cup final against Dunfermline.
