Celtic are resigned to losing Ange Postecoglou to Tottenham with a timeline for his departure set, according to a report.
The Hoops gaffer has been strongly linked in the past couple of days with the vacant role at the English Premier League club with it believed he moved into the position as 'preferred candidate' yesterday for Daniel Levy.
It appears things have escalated further with The Sun reporting that the 57-year-old could be confirmed as early as NEXT WEEK with the Scottish champions already on the lookout for their next manager at Parkhead as a result.

Tottenham have remained silent on the situation with Celtic going for a domestic Treble this weekend. They face Inverness Caley Thistle at Hampden in the Scottish Cup Final knowing victory will complete a domestic clean sweep and land a fifth trophy out of six for Postecoglou since his arrival in Scotland two seasons ago.
They bagged the League Cup for the second successive season following victory over Rangers at the national stadium earlier this year and wrapped up the Scottish Premiership title just as the league split fixtures kicked-off.
The same report states Celtic will NOT stand in the way of Ange and a shortlist of potential replacements is underway with West Ham boss David Moyes named as a 'likely contender'.
Postecoglou is likely to face questions over his future once again as he meets the media ahead of Saturday's end of season showpiece.
