News that Jim McGuinness is to be handed a greater role at Celtic FC has raised questions marks over his future as Donegal manager.

The Glenties man, who is preparing the Tir Chonaill men for their fourth Ulster SFC final in as many years, has been employed on a part-time basis as a performance consultant by the Glasgow giants since November 2012. But it has now emerged that new Celtic manager Ronnie Deila wants McGuinness involved in an increased capacity, which means he may no longer be able to combine both roles.

"We already have a sports psychologist in Jim McGuinness, so I want to bring him in even more," Deila is quoted as saying.

"All my staff's knowledge is going to be used. I can't do it all. I want the best scientists in the world. They have to have experience and learn, but I also have to go out to seek new knowledge.

"We will grow as a staff in our knowledge and the players will adapt."

McGuinness has been working with Celtic's youth and fringe players over the past two years, but his remit could soon involve working with the first team squad also. Tweet
