Jim McGuinness' attendance at Celtic's famous Champions League victory over Barcelona last night has sparked fresh rumours that he is set to join the Scottish champions' coaching staff.

The Irish Daily Star is reporting that the Bhoys still hope to lure the All-Ireland winning manager to Parkhead as a performance coach, and that he is due to meet with club officials today, despite the fact that the Glenties man is already committed to managing Donegal again next year. A qualified sports psychologist, McGuinness could try to combine both jobs in 2013 if he does decide to join Celtic.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon, who is a former Armagh minor footballer, is a great admirer of McGuinness' work and was in Croke Park last September to see him guide Donegal to only their second-ever Sam Maguire Cup success. McGuinness, who sees working full-time in sport as his future, recently described the rumours linking him to Celtic and Liverpool as "very flattering". Tweet
