Celtic hero eyes up shock Scottish football return as boss of Premiership club 16 years after exit

Celtic legend Paul Lambert is interested in becoming the new manager of Premiership club Motherwell.

The former midfielder was a player at Fir Park in the 90s before a huge move to Borussia Dortmund in 1996 ended his 'Well stint after three years. He returned to Scotland a year later with Celtic, where he stayed for eight years before ending his playing days with Livingston and launching his managerial career.

16 years have passed since Lambert left his management post at the Lions and he's since forged a strong CV in England with Wycombe Wanderers, Colchester, Norwich City, Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers, Wolves, Stoke City and Ipswich Town, who he left in 2021. Lambert won eight trophies at Celtic after lifting the Champions League in Germany, with his eyes now on going back to Lanarkshire. Motherwell are hunting a new boss after parting company with Graham Alexander late last month.
