Bellamy - who had a loan spell at Celtic in 2005 during his playing career - has said his focus is on a World Cup qualifying campaign in which Wales will be involved in the March playoffs.

But that has not stopped Bellamy's name being linked with Celtic, who currently have Martin O'Neill and Shaun Maloney in interim charge following the resignation of Brendan Rodgers.

Bellamy's friend Joe Ledley insisted this week his former Wales colleague would a "perfect fit" for the job and that he would be "very interested" in doing so either later this season or in future.

Ross Wallace, who played with Bellamy at Celtic and worked with him at Burnley's academy, said the 46-year-old Welshman "ticks all the boxes" for the Scottish champions.
