Charlie Nicholas name-checks Rangers' Steven Gerrard and Ross Wilson in Eddie Howe to Celtic warning Charlie Nicholas has warned Celtic fans not to expect a 'second coming' of Brendan Rodgers in Eddie Howe. Howe has had success as a manager, taking Bournemouth from the lower leagues into the Premier League and keeping them there for five seasons. He is now in pole position to take over at Parkhead as boss, but Nicholas believes he does not have the same resumé Rodgers had when he joined the club in 2016. Nicholas, a former Hoops striker, has urged supporters to manage their expectations with Howe set to become new man in charge because he will need time to adapt to life in Scotland.
